hi list is there a (debian) way to decode .apefiles into .flac or .wav

imo i need the mac-library, but this software seems to be unfree
i know of shntool, lame etc.
There is a Free monkeyaudio (= .ape) decoder in libavcodec/ffmpeg. I was
about to says that it was twice slower than the proprietary official
decoder, but I just re-did a benchmark and found exactly the same decoding
time, so either my memory was wrong or its performance has increased.
This decoder was merged in libavcodec last September; current Debian version
of libavcodec dates back to last March: you will have ti build your own.
Which is advisable anyway, since the Debian version lacks a lot of encoders.

thanks nicolas,
