I got it working in 0.79u4.05.
The two stumbling blocks were the -Werror flag that is used in your makefile. I had to remove it. And the patch did not add the -lFLAC and -L references to the link for chdman.
I can send you the modified code if you want.

Three questions - Do you need .lsr and .flak files or .chd or .iso (?).
Same files for Daphne and MAME?
Any idea on hardware requirements? (Is a Duron 850Mhz woefully inadequate?) (Never messed with Daphne before).
ErikRuud:
For the MAME patch it is .flac and .lsr
For Daphne it should be .mp2 and .ogg
I'm not sure about peformance specs. I would guess that if you can run the othe Daphne stuff, you should be OK. This is from the Daphne documentation: Get a faster CPU. An Athlon 800 should give almost perfect performance (no dropped frames). Some games need a faster CPU than others

The LSR file is still the same MPEG2 stream that daphne uses, so no difference there. Generally speaking, the FLAC format takes a little less CPU than OGG does to decode, but not much.
The big difference would come down to how good the MAME decoders are versus the Daphne ones.
This really doesn't answer the question, I suppose, but it might help you to gain a little insight if you're curious and want to take it further.

an 800 duron will play DL fine but I doubt you would be able to play firefox. Games that nedd to seek quickly (astron belt, galaxy ranger) need somewhere around a 1.5 or the screen will freeze from time to time. Firefox will most likely need even more as the original player was really fast.

I have not been able to test it yet, but FireFox is listed as "Not working yet" in the 0.99.7cvs version of Daphne.
