Well, the version I have on my Feisty machine doesn't seem to support 
flac, but at <http://sox.sourceforge.net/> flac support is mentioned. 
Maybe you need the latest version from sourceforge.

OTOH, if you want to make an audio CD, you might decode the tracks for 
that CD in wav format and apply the volume adjustment. As both flac and 
wav are lossless, it should not be a problem. And the program for burning 
CDs should work with wav format anyway.
