patch to enable flac playback

[Jason Holtzapple]

Here are patches for Info.pm and Prefs.pm to enable flac transcoding.
I didn't patch Web.pm or strings.txt because that interface isn't
active at the moment.

Also, could the flac line in the master convert.conf be changed from:

flac -d $FILE$ | $lame$ --silent -b $BITRATE$ - -
to
flac -dc $FILE$ | $lame$ --silent -b $BITRATE$ - -

for proper operation.

Thanks!
--Jason

aren't the transcod-* prefs supposed to be depricated by this point?

Doing a Prefs::get will access the .pref file, but not the convert.conf or
types.conf files. Isn't there a larger bug here, being that the Prefs::get is
still being used?

I'm confused, where are they being used?

from Info.pm starting Line 2016:

sub isSong {
my $fullpath = shift;
my $type = shift;
if (!defined($type)) {
$type = contentType($fullpath);
}
return ($type && (($type eq 'mp3') ||
($type eq 'mp2') ||
($type eq 'mov' && Slim::Utils::Prefs::get('transcode-mov')) ||
($type eq 'ogg' && Slim::Utils::Prefs::get('transcode-ogg')) ||
($type eq 'wav' && Slim::Utils::Prefs::get('transcode-wav')) ||
($type eq 'aif' && Slim::Utils::Prefs::get('transcode-wav'))));
