I think that what I actually want is for the operating systems to
use .flac
instead. Similar to what Mac OS X does with .aiff. This should
probably
have been posted in the advocacy emailing list instead.
This is an interesting idea. There already is a FUSE filesystem
called mp3fs (http://mp3fs.sourceforge.net/) which can dynamically
transcode files from FLAC to MP3. Perhaps someone should write flacfs?
The challenge for using FLAC would be to determine/predict/estimate
the FLAC file size in advance. Technical difficulties aside, I think
the idea of popping in a CD and having the files show up as FLAC
would be an appealing one to users.
I suppose another alternative would be to hack on cddafs or one of
its cousins to add FLAC support.
