Ok, I got it working by creating a tiny script that tried with the alac
decoder first, and then falls back to using faad if it fails.
#!/bin/sh
alac -r "$1" 2> /dev/null
if [ "$?" -ne 0 ]
then
faad -w -f 2 "$1" - 2> /dev/null
fi
I needed to modify the alac.c source to return nonzero on failure;

Then just put in convert.conf;
mov wav * *
[decode.sh] $FILE$
One issue is that the alac decoder tries to decode the stream even if it
doesn't find the alac atom, which i think should be changed..
