and there is a new programm called waveagent,
unfortunately just for pc and not for mac :-(

but there is a open source software for mac which converts files from
flac to wav or aiff,
its called xAct. i don=B4t know if its working good, i will try it the
next days.
(download at:
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/21952)

now i=B4m a little sceptical about converting flac to wav. (maybe
unfounded.)
but is flac really the same quality as recording with 48khz 24 bit wav?
and won=B4t there be any loss of quality when converting?
or is this depending on the quality of the software converter?
