I'm running LMS 7.9.2 on a Linux server and squeezelite on a number of
Linux clients (Raspberries and Intel). I see the phenomenon that some of
my m4a files play without problem while others don't.

Here's the mediainfo for a file that works:

Upon trying to play back the latter, I get the following entry in the
server log:


Code:
--------------------
    [19-02-07 11:49:33.2965] Slim::Player::Squeezebox2::statHandler (150) 
Error: 84:2b:2b:ad:e2:30: Decoder does not support file format, code 0
--------------------


And the following in squeezelite's log:


Code:
--------------------
    HTTP/1.1 200 OK

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


I assume the faad_decode error is the problem but doing a websearch for
it didn't turn up any useful information.

There's no DRM involved and VLC e.g. is able to play the file without
problems.

Any ideas anyone? Thank you very much in advance!
