[Flac-dev] Segfaults on K7

[Asheesh Laroia]

I'm running your debian packages on a K7 currently.  They seem to be
working fine, including the xmms-flac package.  I seem to be experiencing
the same flac decoding problems (state=6:FLAC__FILE_DECODER_STREAM_ERROR)
as Pritpaul Mahal, however.  I'll see if I can reproduce these.  It could
just be a problem with my old FLAC files (from 0.9 and before).

This K7 doesn't segfault on flac as provided by the .debs.  (See
/proc/cpuinfo at end of message.)  If there are any particular
circumstances you want me to test, feel free to ask.
