Until makemkv's FLAC, and AAC-stereo profiles can work properly with ffmpeg 6.*/7.* -(which is what most new distro's package), maybe the instructions here: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=224
should include a recommended building makemkv-oss with ffmpeg-4.4.5 <-which works flawlessly with FLAC and AAC-stereo profiles, and of course the Default profile.

makemkv flatpak's that incorporate ffmpeg 4.4.* are also an option as well, but not everyone uses flatpacks.

It was just a one-line bug that prevented working with recent ffmpeg. It is fixed in 1.17.8 , all versions of ffmpeg are now supported. The fix can be easily backported to previous versions - it is just a single-line type in makemkv-oss package.

-just tested makemkv-1.17.8, (building it) with latest ffmpeg-snapshot, and the FLAC profiles, ..., all work fine now.
Thanks for the fix.
