For your information, to make the Windows installers for Csound that are 
downloadable from SourceForge, I do use your prepackaged binaries, and I 
check to ensure I use the latest ones.

I knew about the Ogg Vorbis support - one reason I use the packaged 
binaries - but I missed the FLAC support!

Regards,
Mike

Cool, thanks.

Yeah, in libsndfile 1.0.17 I shipped a large chunk of the Flac sources
with the libsndfile sources. However, all of the Linux distros discourage
this because if there's a security bug in say flac then they have to
fix two packages (ie flac and libsndfile). That was the main reason to
strip out the flac sources and (at least on Linux/Mac) link to an external
libflac. Even moreso when Ogg/Vorbis was added. And if I can find the time,
there will be others added as well.

Cheers,
Erik
