Description

Is FLAC in ogg container supposed to support embedded pictures at all?
Metalflac cannot embed picture into FLAC in ogg.
ogg-flac with embedded picture can be created when reencoding from native FLAC that has embedded picture or on encoding to FLAC with option --picture. But then this embedded picture cannot be viewed or removed.

Research direction

The issue names Metalflac and ogg-flac but no source file, test, or entry point. First reproduce embedding, viewing, and removal of pictures in FLAC-in-Ogg files, then determine the expected support before tracing the relevant metadata handling. Done means the intended behavior is established and the reported operations work consistently.
