Description
It seems to me that flac -t should suppress the warranty/credits/version output, much like shasum -c, or at least put the noise to a different fd than the meaningful output. Perhaps the warranty/credits could go to stderr (to be seen by the user) and the real output could go to stdout.
It seems that it should also skip the percentage count-up in the event that stdout is not a tty.

Research direction
Start at the flac -t command implementation and run it with stdout redirected to inspect which messages and progress output are emitted. Trace the existing output paths and any related tests. Done means the meaningful test output is readily greppable, informational noise is separated appropriately, and percentage progress is skipped when stdout is not a tty.
