Ah. No worries, just figured it'd be a big time-saver.
If you make a FLAC track first then run:

flac -d yourflacfile.flac
aften -whateveroptions yourwavfile.wav

But as Madshi pointed out for FLAC files the PCM is converted to 16 bit first. But since most TrueHD tracks seams to use 16 bit source material it shouldn't really matter that much. The AC3 file will probably sound just the same.
