Actually, scrap that. If flac and flac-old would conflict (as they definitely
would without some serious effort) it would cause more grey hair for audio
enthusiasts than any other option, because you couldn't install programs
using different flac libs side by side. So perhaps we should indeed just push
for the new flac version. I found a patch for libsndfile, I'll add it to the
spell and maybe take care of flac-tools later today also.
