Yes, that's my understanding too. Although the official Android
application developer API is Java, the underlying implementation of
media codecs uses OpenCore, in C.

OpenCore includes an implementation of OpenMAX IL components for each
codec. A good start would be to make an OpenMAX IL component for FLAC,
using the code layout and OpenMAX helper functions present in
OpenCore.

Do you have a link to the bug?

Conrad.
