As a musician who needs to share audio over the internet as part of the writing process, the lossless format totally helps.

[Cooker] flac-1.0.2 to incoming
Uploaded flac-1.0.2-1mdk.src.rpm to incoming. FLAC stands for Free Lossless Audio Codec. Grossly oversimplified, FLAC is similar to MP3, but lossless. The FLAC project consists of: the stream format libFLAC, which implements reference encoders and decoders flac, a command-line wrapper around libFLAC to encode and decode .flac files input plugins for various music players (Winamp, XMMS, and more in the works) For obvious reasons the only input plugin included in src.rpm is for XMMS. Pkg includes: flac-1.0.2-1mdk.i586.rpm flac-xmms-1.0.2-1mdk.i586.rpm libflac1-1.0.2-1mdk.i586.rpm libflac1-devel-1.0.2-1mdk.i586.rpm (actually remembered libification this time.)
