And xmms and winamp input plugins :) Also "FLAC streams can be played back consecutively with no audible gaps in between". "The sample-accurate seeking allows versatile playback: a sophisticated player could do index points, complex looping, or other structured playback. This could be useful for say DJs ... " And under "What FLAC is not": "SDMI compliant, et cetera.
