Replace FLAC encoder with FLACCL

[VX]

About FLACCL (former FlaCuda)
FlaCuda is probably a world's first CUDA-enabled FLAC encoder. It's opensource and licensed under LGPL. Newer versions of FlaCuda use OpenCL instead of CUDA, adding support for Intel and AMD GPUs.

The main advantage of using FLACCL is encoding SPEED - just have a look at the benchmark:

FLACCL uses NET.Framework, so it's fully compatible with MB.

If you wish to try it out before, I can recommend TAudioConverter - a multithreaded audio converter and extractor, which is available for free in 32- and 64-bit versions (I use 64bit Portable one).

TAudioConverter can be a perfect addition to MusicBee:
-it's updated regularly with speed in mind (have a look at the changelog on the website),
-optimized for new hardware,
-has simple and intuitive GUI with powerful and advanced options if needed,
-doesn't require installation (portable),
-and has up-to-date encoder versions.

BTW, I've discovered this app on the MB forum

i am aware of FLACCL. However its my understanding it only benefits if you have certain graphics cards.
I dont see any reason you cant install it yourself and then change the flac encoder links and parameters in the File Converter preferences

It benefits with all GPUs that support OpenCL: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenCL
This means most GPUs are supported (including on-board/integrated ones).

I don't think users will find appropriate presets for the File Converter easily. As you know using wrong presets can cause bugs in MB.
Out of the box support would be welcomed, I'd put it to the to-do list for a future version.
