It used to be that you just ran flac files through flac123, like so:
$ flac123 file.flac
That doesn't work any more, and the flac commandline tool only contains a single binary called 'flac' that decodes, encodes, etc.
Playing with 'mplayer' still works but it produces a lot of errors, and the audio level is low. The trick seems to be to call flac with the decode (-d) option, output to stdout (-c) and then pipe it to alsa player over stdin
$ flac -c -d /path/to/files/*flac | aplay
$ flac123 file.flac
