RE: I don't

decoding flac to memory so the whole track is available is optimal, then playback can be event driven with no extra processing.

If decoding flac during playback then there will need to be extra processes to do the decoding, extra buffers to hold the flac data and decoded data, data alignment issues between the decoded buffer and player buffer, checks to see if more data is required to be decoded etc

If it makes no difference then it's not an issue either way.
