In the Settings > Advanced > File Types dialog (which I had forgotten
about), I tried toggling "Prefer native format (decoding on the player)
whenever possible". It made no difference that I could detect, even in
interaction with the next thing I tried.

THEN I TURNED \"FILE FORMAT: FLAC STREAM FORMAT: FLAC (I,F)\" TO
DISABLED. NOW THE CHOPPY FILE PLAYS FINE.

I confess I don't really understand the UI here. The UI seems to say
"Don't stream FLAC files in FLAC", yet what I'm apparently actually
doing isn't very clear.

And if I get debugging going, I find out what's actually happening:

--------------------


So, I'm actually playing AIF I think, which isn't obvious at all.

I've played with the other combinations a bit, and I can't seem to
trigger the flac -> flac-less-compression transcode.
