TL;DR: metaflac should support outputting to a different file, like vorbiscomment(1).
Background: I have created a music compilation system which works kinda like a software build system. When possible, it encodes and tags in different steps so that a mere tag change doesn't result in the reencoding of the entire library. Unfortunately, metaflac doesn't support outputting to a different file (or to stdout), so I have to copy the untagged files manually.
Since metaflac is designed to operate on multiple files simultaneously and we don't want to break the interface, I think the easiest would be to add a -o option. If it is specified, only one input file may be passed; any more should cause an error.
