Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: sound-juicer

Sound juicer and Rhytmbox can extract CDs to FLAC.  Toying with a file,
I found these outputs:

Original as ripped by Rhythmbox:
-rw------- 1 bluefox bluefox 14145212 2008-09-17 02:45 01 - Track 1.flac

re-encoded with `flac --best`:
-rw------- 1 bluefox bluefox  6947973 2008-09-17 02:45 01 - Track 1.best.flac

Notice that the re-encode used half the space.  As this is lossless,
this should be default.  Configuring this is not practical, as it uses a
confusing, manually-built pipeline string:

audio/x-raw-int,rate=44100,channels=2 ! flacenc name=enc

I'm not sure what to add to tell gstreamer to use libflac's best
compression level, nor will any normal user.
