GIT checkin of Flac 1.4.0 is complete with the addition of user configurable Compression Level by clicking on the Audio Wrench in the render menu (default is 0 which seems to be similar to the current usage as far as I can tell).  This patch by Andrew + he added 3 new ALAC audio render formats which is Apple Lossless Audio Codec.  As usual, Andrea did a lot of building and early testing which is very valuable because he keeps his Arch operating system constantly updated which I have not been able to do.  Interesting to note that the Flac team made the statement that it has been 9 years between the initial 1.3.x and 1.4.x versions !

P.S. Andrea, if you could build one more time just to make sure I checked everything into GIT correctly, that would be very much appreciated.

P.S. Andrew, when you provided the Flac gui patches, you snuck in "0003-Fix-armv7l-build.patch" so I checked that into GIT also but I have no way to test it.  Do you?
