We need to put something about this in the FAQ and in the etree wiki.

after searching for a bit I can't find any reference to this anywhere online & I can't remember where I heard it. So it looks to me like this is a minor bug with FLAC frontend like everybody's been saying... sorry guys for putting forward this questionable information without doing my research first!
