I think that puts FLAC and Apple Lossless in pretty much the same boat: we
probably ought to allow upload in those formats as nice lossless source
material, but it'd be nice if we can consistently automatically transcode
them to something that plays consistently in browsers at suitable
live-download bitrates. (Ogg Vorbis and, in a world with slightly less
patent madness, MP3.)
