Bug#590752: audacity: can't import "open" FLAC files

[Ximin Luo]

play1.flac is 180 megabytes. Here's a cleaner sample, 16 seconds of silence:

$ file test1*.flac
test1.flac:   FLAC audio bitstream data, 24 bit, stereo, 44.1 kHz, length unknown
test1_s.flac: FLAC audio bitstream data, 24 bit, stereo, 44.1 kHz, 741888 samples

Audacity can import test1_s.flac, but not test1.flac. (However, in this case 
totem seems unable to work out the total length of test1.flac, and shows 
"Streaming" instead.)

Also when I try to re-code test1.flac directly (instead of using WAV as an 
intermediate), it comes out with:

$ flac -o test1_r.flac test1.flac
[...]
test1.flac: ERROR: FLAC input has STREAMINFO with unknown total samples which 
is not supported
