Package: audacious-plugins
Version: 1.3.5-3
Severity: normal

Hello,

When loading my rather large music collection in FLAC format, a lot of those 
FLAC files refuse to load. Audacious shows the following error message:

Unable to play files.

The following files could not be played. Please check that:
1. they are accessible.
2. you have enabled the media plugins required.

[a list of FLAC files]


These FLAC files are readable and flawlessly encoded to the best of my 
knowledge. What the files that refuse to load might have in common, is their 
age. They were encoded several years and several versions of FLAC ago (for 
instance under the previous Debian stable distribution). Any other program 
plays those files without any problem, as I'm sure FLAC libraries are backwards 
compatible, and I'm sure Audacious would too if not for this error check upon 
load.

Venturing a wild guess, Audacious' checks are too strict and hence it refuses 
to load a lot of files encoded with older library versions.


Thanks for your time,

  Wouter
