indeed, shipping your own flac source and linking against it is more error
prone and might lead to further bugs .. (and means also more work ..)
If, however, libsndfile needs a hacked FLAC source and thus ships its own
version, you should coordinate this with libflac's maintainer, maybe there is a
way to include those changes.
