that's good

i'll take care of these.

Otherwise i'd like to ask you if you would agree with adding FLAC (Free 
Lossless Audio Compression) to MustuxAudioFileFormat ? FLAC is an Open-Source 
Lossless Audio Compression format, and its decoding is already implemented in 
several Hardware audio players.
(more infos on http://flac.sf.net)

I would take care of adding it to MustuxAudioFileFormat (using the official 
libFLAC which is GPL). After that it would require to adapt Protux's Audio 
import in order to use it... as well as finally making Ogg/Vorbis really 
usable. I'd like to work on Ogg as well if it's ok with you.
