no, not yet, but it's possible to go either way without
decoding/re-encoding.

not much supports Ogg FLAC yet, I think mainly because most
players assume codec based on extension, so it is more work to
write an Ogg handler for everything, especially since metadata
is not part of Ogg but the underlying codec.
