No.

Xine is the cause of the problem. 1.1.1 will not play flacs, at least on
x86_64. See:
http://sources.gentoo.org/viewcvs.py/gentoo/src/patchsets/xine-lib/1.1.2cvs20060328/270_all_flac-has-audio.patch?rev=1.1&view=markup

We need a new version compiled from CVS, as this was only fixed a few weeks
ago (hope it got sent back into the normal tree).

I've tried to recompile to myself repeatedly, with no luck. Perhaps someone
here can succeed where I failed.

In the interim, you can at least play them with juk + akode|arts

Regards,

Mark
