So your original FLAC file would appear to have no compression at all. (Maybe the additional half MB is the artwork).
I wonder if it's possible that although it has a FLAC file suffix, it's actually just a normal LPCM file? Could it be that the LMS playback system is somehow smart enough to figure this out after a FLAC decode fails? Perhaps it takes a while for the decode to fail, and then LMS falls back on streaming it as PCM? Or perhaps it's recognising that it isn't FLAC and choosing to encode it prior to streaming - hence the delay? These are all just random musings, but the original file size is very suspicious.
