It seems Ubuntu Gutsy does not play flac-files anymore in XMMS. Not sure why, XMMS is great, and flac is installed. Turns out there’s something wrong in the repositories, since the plugin itself does work. So download the flac source, unpack it and do a “./configure;make”. Then go into the src/plugin_xmms/.libs directory and copy the libxmms-flac.so to your xmms plugins directory (cp -p libxmms-flac.so ~/.xmms/Plugins/). Now xmms plays flac again.
