You might find this (re Apple, ALAC, FLAC, open source, licensing...) interesting in understanding why Apple provide no native FLAC support

Are you sure that integrating FLAC would be such a large issue due to the copyleft? To my knowledge, if you keep that piece of code distinct from the code of the main program, it wouldn't contaminate the the whole code. Besides there are already plenty of (proprietary code based) programs that encode and decode FLAC, wouldn't they be affected by the GPL license?
