I stumbled across this as well. Would be nice to have in the Plex web client since most of my library is FLAC. Might be a stretch to make this a priority though - not sure how many people have their computer + browser plugged into a high fidelity sound system -- likely most people have other solutions or Plex clients for that. However, I do listed to music through the Plex web client with headphones semi frequently and it would be nice to have the highest quality..

Here's a demo that shows how it works (select a local FLAC file and it'll decode and play in a browser):
