FLAC decoding parameters could be improved to avoid bug

This effects all current & beta versions. If you use a hash at the start of a filename it will fail with FLAC decoding, e.g. file "- Please Please Me.flac" would fail. Try it yourself from a command line. Whilst they are ugly and extremely rare (I found my first 1 yesterday) they are still valid Windows filenames, however reading the FLAC documentation comes up with a solution (http://flac.sourceforge.net/documentation.html#flac ) <quote> To encode or decode files that start with a dash, use -- to signal the end of options, to keep the filenames themselves from being treated as options: * flac -V -- -01-filename.wav </quote> So for example this statement in convert.conf: flc wav * * [flac] -dcs --force-raw-format --endian=little --sign=signed --skip=$START$ --until=$END$ $FILE$ Should be changed to: flc wav * * [flac] -dcs --force-raw-format --endian=little --sign=signed --skip=$START$ --until=$END$ -- $FILE$ A rare problem and of course most would change the filename, but hope it helps and is implemented.
kevin, can you make this change along with your other convert.conf changes? thx.
