Description

In whipper/common/checksum.py each time we decompress a flac file to wav using flac as a subprocess it print the following to stderr.

As tracks are for example verified one by one this is printed once for every single flac file track.

Giving flac the flag -s seems to silence it, but I am unaware of when flac would print notable information.

Also to note, the CRC32Task seems to be missing progress status printing / descriptions. The currently present following print seems to likely be a placeholder.
