If your platform runs shntool or something comparable, then you already 
have a tool that can decode FLAC to WAV and concatenate the output into 
a single proper WAV file.  If you don't want to use the default output 
name of joined.wav, you can have it write (if the output format is WAV) 
to stdout and use the ">" redirector as you indicated.
