Media Foundation FLAC Codec 1.2

This is a Windows Media Foundation file source and decoder for FLAC format. The source and decoder are implemented separately to enable FLAC decoding from other containers. It should work with any player client which uses Media Foundation pipeline, such as Windows Media Player 12. It's not a DirectShow source/filter, so it won't work inside a DirectShow graph. It won't even load on windows XP, because it uses a newer API.

Free Lossless Audio Codec (FLAC) is an audio compression codec that employs a lossless data compression algorithm. A digital audio recording compressed by FLAC can be decompressed into an identical copy of the original audio data. Audio sources encoded to FLAC are typically reduced to 50–60% of their original size. FLAC has support for tagging, cover art, and fast seeking. Though FLAC playback support in portable audio devices and dedicated audio systems is limited compared to formats like MP3 or uncompressed PCM, FLAC is supported by more hardware devices than competing lossless compressed formats like WavPack.

What's new in this version:
Proper registration with Windows Media Player, including playlists.
