Doing a bit more investigation, flac track length appears to have broken in 
the big Nov. 26 mythmusic patch.  A rollback to CVS from Nov. 25 reads 
track lengths again (and once they're in the db, they stay there).  It 
looks as though some of the code didn't make it from flacdecoder.cpp into 
metaioflacvorbiscomment.cpp

So if you upgraded your system, it probably depends when you first imported 
the track.

Are developers reading here, or should I cc mythtv-dev?

Thanks.
