My first thought is that Apple's sample should be rewritten to use the FLAC library, instead of requiring the FLAC source to be copied into the project and then compiled into the codec component. The installer I put together makes it rather easy for regular folk to install the library. I'm not sure whether it would end up being a bad idea, but it certainly seems a lot simpler.

You can find a slightly more detailed review of the Apple's FLAC codec
implementation in my blog post at:

Thanks for the pointer- I've been playing with this codec and attempting to write an AudioFile wrapper for the native FLAC format. It seems that the encoder discards a frame of input, but I haven't spent any time debugging to figure out why. So it really isn't extremely useful after all! If I have too much trouble fixing it I might write my own version.
