Why do you not provide a pull request? Should this be enabled only for specific flac versions?

The patch is not a MPD patch because the affected source file does not exist in MPD. I don't know what kind of patch this is, but I guess this feature request is bogus.

this is not an mpd patch it actually patches flac source code to enable the chaining feature...please hold tight. i'm trying to figure this out. this fixes an issue reported to mpd many times...the fix is in libflac, but the flac author said clients will need to make changes too...i'm trying to gather more info

until the flac makes a release, this would only be usable in the git master....just hoping you guys can prepare mpd and make it use the feature. for now, it will have to be enabled by the distro or user by patching flac
