[Flac-dev] deafening silence

[Asheesh Laroia]

This will post-pend id3v1 tags.  I thought they were found at the
beginning of files.

If not, then it looks fine to me.  I may add some parentheses, though,
like (tail -c 128 ${f} > tag) && (flac-0.8 -d $f ${f%flac}wav), etc.

That decoding line should be "${f%.flac}", no "*", right?  For
simplicity's sake, I'm not going to take off the "." at the end before
I postpend "wav".  Thus:
	flac-0.9 -V ${f%flac}wav $f

Seem better?

(-8 BTW, I'm on Linux Mandrake cooker, not Windows. 8-)

Thanks a lot for this, btw.
