Check whether a certain file type/extension exists in directory

Question

How would you go about telling whether files of a specific extension are present in a directory, with bash?

Something like

if [ -e *.flac ]; then 
echo t

   shopt -s nullglob
   set -- $(echo *.ext)
    if [ "${#}" -gt 0 ];then
      echo "got file"
    fi
