As far as audio goes ...for playback I tend to use xmms and as well ..now...oscp...and both have (seemingly) no prob playing flac or ogg ... in fact for xmms there are extension packs available in the repo (WHICH is a 3rd party repo by the way...which SHOULD be brought under the official maemo repo umbrella...hint-hint...) for such codecs....
