(Note: I was building a BS1 package from my original CDs for use with the yet to be released 0.10.0)
The ogg version should be for older than 0.10.0 scummvm, where the cutscenes where encoded in MPEG2+ogg, while from 0.10.0 are DXA+FLAC.
The README file of 0.10.0 branch: http://svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/scummvm/scummvm/branches/branch-0-10-0/README?revision=27530&view=markup says: 398 These cutscenes are provided in DXA format with FLAC audio. Their quality 399 is equal to the original games due to the use of lossless compression. 400 Viewing these cutscenes requires a version of ScummVM compiled with both 401 FLAC and zLib support.
So I suppose that BS1 with 0.10.0 support FLAC audio, at least for cutscenes (and I hope music/*, but not tried yet), while flac in .clu files are supported only in post 0.10.0 (the svn log mention scummvm-tools so, it should the flac support in .clu files).
So I downloaded the file Sword1_DXA_Cutscenes.zip , which contains some .dxa (video) and .fla (shouldn't be .flac?) files. I also downloaded my addon locale, but it contains the audio in .ogg and not flac as in Sword1_DXA_Cutscenes.zip .

Yes, FLAC is supported in cutscenes. To use langpacks do following: extract langpack into directory with DXA cutscenes and then remove .fla files if there is corresponing .ogg one. This will make ScummVM load localized voiceovers.
As of reencoding language packs in FLAC, we can't do it in most cases simply because we don't have access to those versions. Most of those packs were contributed by our users.

I'd like to contribute the italian flac files. How can I get these? I tried encode_dxa (scummvm-tools 0.9.0 build from source under a Fedora 7) but I get a segfault:
$ ./scummvm-tools-0.9.0/encode_dxa --flac --best -b 1152 /mnt/cd2/smackshi/ferrari Width = 640, Height = 400, Framerate = -8333, Frames = 441 Segmentation fault

I managed to convert the smk files into wav (with a recent ffmpeg) and then into flac (with flac-1.1.4): $ ffmpeg -i /mnt/cd2/smackshi/finale.smk finale.wav $ flac --best -b 1152 --lax *wav
I can send you the flac files, if you want.

Yesterday's change was for the BS1 music. The cutscenes already use Audio::AudioStream::openStreamFile(), which I believe handles all the compression formats automagically.

But this is nevertheless a request for enhancement, not a bug report :-).

I don't think those are "missing" Until yesterday, BS1 did not even support playback of FLAC audio. Even now it's unclear to me whether we should release a FLAC version. At most, this would be a feature request.
