I'm confused... now it works...
Well, I've been testing... as I read the CVS logs, Isaac updated to the latest ffmpeg on November 18th.
I went back and used CVS from November 16th for libavcodec, libavformat, and mythmusic (only testing for FLAC ripping).
Ripped a CD and all seems happy... plays away.
Now I tried from November 20th... This gets the new ffmpeg, but NOT the new metadata patches that Colin did which went in on November 26th. It seems to still work... that, for some reason, really wasn't what I expected (I figured the ffmpeg folks changed something).
So now I try November 28th (Colin, your patch looks to have gone in on Nov. 26th)... it works...
I clean my cvs world up and check out the latest and go with that... it works. ARGGGG!
Now I have a bunch of corrupt rips, for no apparent reason. Ah well, maybe it was just a "dirty" compile somewhere. I'll play and see if I find anything.
Thanks everyone!

If I get the "--until value is before --skip point" error from FLAC (I'm not giving it an until or skip value... it seems to be "finding one" somewhere, or else is just very confused), then nothing I do will make it play with flac, although VLC and apparently mplayer deal with it no-problem.
Odd to me that "flac" can't play a flac file that everybody else can :-)
hehe, yeah, you'd think it would manage OK eh?
Someone mentioned a 2-second gap hack in the FLAC code. I've not really looked but it may be worth disabling this hack and trying a rip again to see if the errors go away??
It sounds like the kind of hack that would cause something like this in my option. Perhaps it sometimes chops data in half or something and mplayer and vlc just skip past it (cause they try and cope with corrupted data), but flac itself requires pristine data and does not attempt recovery from corruption???
On my setup flac -t (test) said everything was OK, so I can't really replicate the error at the mo'. For sanity, I did a flac -d and played the .wav file. It didn't give any errors and sounded fine when playing...
My home server is playing up (random freezes - think it must be memory tho' it tests fine!), so apologies if I don't reply as promptly as I could.
