Well, the CoreAudio FLAC component is mostly ready and working. No
need to write it. It just needs a bit of refactoring, and I will add
it to the repository soon.

If this is a CoreAudio player it probably uses CoreAudio mechanisms to
handle media(audio) files. Hence, once the CAFLAC component is
installed, it should be quite simple (using CA API, not the Ogg/FLAC
libraries/frameworks directly) to make the player use that component
for FLAC-file decompression.

Hope this helps.
