Not tested on a device yet. What that means
flac in Breadstick
Breadstick runs Debian's own flac package for ARM64, the build a Debian 13 computer with an ARM processor installs, so flac should behave as it does on a Linux PC. It is a command line program rather than an app with a window of its own: you run it by typing its command in Breadstick's Terminal, or in any terminal window on the Linux desktop, and it needs no Desktop or Floating session running.
Commands in the package
flacmetaflac
Type one in Breadstick's Terminal to run it.
Audio and video tools run on the device's processor: Linux apps get no hardware video encoding or decoding, so converting a long video takes a while. Sound plays through the device's own audio output. More in the docs: The Terminal.
About flac
From Debian's package description
FLAC stands for Free Lossless Audio Codec. Grossly oversimplified, FLAC is similar to MP3, but lossless. The FLAC project consists of:
- The stream format
- libFLAC, which implements a reference encoder, stream decoder, and file decoder
- flac, which is a command-line wrapper around libFLAC to encode and decode .flac files
- Input plugins for various music players (Winamp, XMMS, and more in the works)
This package contains the command-line tools flac (used for encoding and decoding FLACs) and metaflac (used for manipulating FLAC metadata.)
From Debian's description of the flac package, under that package's license.
