OK. I'm now using Native FLAC and seek is working. (Using FLAC 1.1.3
I'm getting 1-2% more compression).

OggFLAC files that I had were handled perfectly (i.e. previously, as
said in my earlier mail).

No such package exists on my box. If I extract only that part from KDE
source, will I be able to compile it?

BTW while looking for solution (and to get more compression) I
upgraded to FLAC 1.1.3 and now akode is not compiling. (I need to
recompile to get MP3 support)

Though I can now play MP3, FLAC and Ogg/Vorbis (all using xine, Sound
with MP3 is having distortion), I have more faith in akode.
