Hmm the slimp3 does not have native support for flac so your server is
supposed to do transcoding flac to wav ? (or flac to mp3 ? )
A possibility is that it's an issue with that.
check your filetypes setting under advanced:
"
FLAC FLAC native
MP3 flac/lame
PCM flac
"
check also that you actually have the flac binarie in squeezecenter.
which should be there per default ?
If you are using some kind of bitrate limiting transcoding to mp3, you
must have lame installed on your system and that is not distributed with
SC for licensing reasons. I've no clue what goes where on a suse
machine.
Turn off the bitrate limiting for the slimp3 if it is on.
Otherwise I have no exact clue on whats your problem, perhaps using
some of the logging settings can get you more info ?
and you should consider using 7.3.3 or better 7.3.4 (the bug corrected
7.3.3 )
