Agree completely.  I did this because I wanted to get something working with as
small a change as possible.

Given all that, there's not much point in me doing this now.  Josh, have you
started with the getopt work?  If not, I can do that, presumably allowing you
to switch to the higher-level libFLAC interface quicker.  Once all that's done,
I'd be willing to do the audiofile work myself or jointly with Matt.
