[Flac] FLAC: decoding to WAV in the future

What Brian Willoughby means is that even though the future is
uncertain, you may trust FLAC.  The format is mature enough so that
you won't see major changes preventing playback of files encoded by
older encoders, but even if that comes to happen, the playback
libraries on most software will be backwards-compatible, and FLAC is
lossless meaning that you may convert FLAC 1.1.4 to a possible FLAC 3
without problems.

Hope that helps,
