FLAC stands for Free Lossless Audio Codec. Grossly oversimplified, FLAC is similar to MP3, but lossless. The FLAC project consists of:
* The stream format * libFLAC, which implements a reference encoder, stream decoder, and file decoder * flac, which is a command-line wrapper around libFLAC to encode and decode .flac files * Input plugins for various music players (Winamp, XMMS, and more in the works)
This package contains an XMMS input plugin to play FLAC audio streams. It also provides symlinks for it to work with Beep Media Player, since plugins between the two players are interchangeable.
