I built with 3.8.0.  Other people have had problems with the
id3lib test.  I'll look into it more, but one thing I notice
right away is that the missing symbols are from the stdc++
library; it looks like the test prog is linking via gcc instead
of g++.

Those are in libm.a.  Even then, the last release looks
almost a year old so I doubt it is up to date.  It's maintained
by another person.

The libFLAC API changed in 1.0.4 enough to break the FLAC support
in alsaplayer.  It had to be done but there will be much less of
that in the future.  It is relatively easy to fix if you pass the
errors on to the author.
