Anyone knows an program which can convert m4a to flac???

Audacity

I suggest foobar2000 as its capable of reading the gapless playback information of the M4A container (assuming it has any) and so you will get the audio at the length its meant to be played at, without any silence at either end of the track that wasn't there originally. Red mentioned Audacity, and while it's able to read M4A and convert to FLAC, not only does it ignore gapless playback information, it also doesn't read every single sample that makes up the track, i.e., it arbitrarily drops an amount of samples from both ends of the track and thus shifting the audio and altering its length.
