Bug Description

If symlinks to track files (in flac format) are added to an Audio CD project, an error pop-up occurs for each one saying it is not a valid file format.

The exact same files work fine if referenced directly, not via symlinks.

This seems silly; something must be explicitly checking for symbolic links, since a kernel open() call on a symlink would open the referenced file transparently.
