That's a problem with flac files in general.
The flac library gives you the option to store per-track-seekpoints but
not per-track-comments.
I just took a look at some of my flac files which i generated using
foobar. They have indead a bunch of comments like this:
comment[0]: CUE_TRACK02_album=Blues For The Red Sun
comment[1]: CUE_TRACK02_artist=Kyuss
comment[2]: CUE_TRACK02_comment=EAC 0.9beta4 / FLAC 1.1.0 q6
comment[3]: CUE_TRACK02_date=1992
comment[4]: CUE_TRACK02_genre=Other
comment[5]: CUE_TRACK02_title=Green Machine
comment[6]: CUE_TRACK02_totaltracks=14
comment[7]: CUE_TRACK02_tracknumber=2
and so on..
But this seems to be *very* player specific.
If you go on and support that one player specific tagging scheme
somebody will come up with some other player and we end up in supporting
several tagging schemes which might change in future and so on..
That's why i say we should stick to that cuesheet block.
Maybe there'll be a good per-track tagging scheme with libflac one day.
Until then i think it's better to agree on the lowest common demoniator.

This will store a "file" in a vorbis comment called "CUESHEET" and add
the seekpoints from "file".
If you have a file that looks like this:
GENRE=somegenre
DATE=1992
PERFORMER="someperformer"
TITLE="sometitle"
TRACK01=title1
TRACK02=title2
SOMELOVELYTAG=yeahrightheregoesinwhateveryouwant
you'll be able to store the single tags with --import-tags-from=file.
Output should then look like this:
comment[0]: GENRE=somegenre
comment[1]: DATE=1992
comment[2]: PERFORMER="someperformer"
comment[3]: TITLE="sometitle"
comment[4]: TRACK01=title1
comment[5]: TRACK02=title2
comment[6]: SOMELOVELYTAG=yeahrightheregoesinwhateveryouwant
Hope that helped and cleared things up a bit,
Jochen
