Hi,


The FLAC decoder filter includes also the file reading part. This needs 
to be decoupled.
Other Xiph filters have had the same problem.

It is on my TODO list (also reported as #1653 
<https://trac.xiph.org/ticket/1653>), but as you have seen the work on 
DirectShow
filters is non existent in the recent years.

I plan to get back at hacking the DirectShow filters this autumn.

As for a solution, Windows 10 provides a MediaFoundation filter for FLAC,
and it might simply just work.

Cheers,
Cristian.
