You can pretty much get them function right away by yourself with earlier Maemo's flac and oggvorbis libraries. I do not think that maemo has changed a lot, so that they wouldn't function. And if they DON'T, the community will quite quickly fix the situation... Oh and you don't need to talk about firmwares "anymore". There will be updates for seperate parts of the system, not the whole firmware. Ofcourse, as it is embedded device, it has a firmware.. but there is no need to update the whole firmware just to get a FLAC support on a media player, for example. Just like in your PC.. install the basic system (firmware), then you just update it. It is a Linux you know.
