excellent... keep us posted.

not that I know of.  the metadata parsing is not too bad but
writing data back can get hairy.  probably the best thing to
do is to write a module that wraps around the various ways
to call metaflac.

on my TODO list are shorthand notation options for flac that
internally turn '--track=4' to '--skip=12312459 --until=45234623'.
but slimp3 users will probably want more functionality (maybe
skipping to index points or something) so it's probably best to
parse the cuesheet/streaminfo and write the options you need.
