possible to use local freedb?

You mean with foo_freedb? No, because that would mean implementing fuzzy matching in the plugin (with plain "discid matching" your match count would be close to zero).

I'm guessing that brute force searching through whole database would be terribly slow, so some hashtables would be required (and of course utility that scans database and generates those hashtables, updates them each time user updates database).   

But you can always try to build and configure your local freedb server (should compile under Cygwin)...
