It doesn't have one.

Well, that's true, but I didn't invent this off my own back. It was as a
result of someone else on here saying that Slimserver will currently parse
COVERART tags appropriately.

Once Slimserver gets support for the PICTURE frames, then I'll modify
flactag appropriately. I think support is currently in the 7.0 branch, but
that's still in the very early stages if I'm not mistaken.
