[Flac-dev] xmms-flac security update breaks XMMS' flac-playing ability

[Josh Coalson]

that missing symbol appears only in libFLAC 1.2.1 or later, so it
sounds like the version dependencies in xmms-flac were not set up
to automatically pull in 1.2.1.  check the versions of the other
flac packages on the machine (not sure what they're called in
ubuntu but probably flac or libflac) and make sure they're up to
1.2.1
