Thanks Philippe.

Firstly, an interesting observation - as a baseline, and due to my own
curiosity, I initially repeated the test using the existing 1.49.5
version just to see if it would -always- skip the Mogwai track when
using native format. During our intiial round of testing a few days
back, I could replicate it every time.

An unexpected outcome though - the Mogwai track has now decided to play
successfully after The Beatles when using native format on 1.49.5. I
wasn't logging the first attempt because I just assumed it would still
skip, but have attached the log from my second attempt. I double-checked
to ensure that LMS was sending the original FLAC file, and the logs also
confirmed this. So it might make it tricky to test your fix when I now
can't replicate the problem with 1.49.5! I ended up trying it 4 times on
1.49.5 and it worked every time.

Anyway, on to version 1.49.6 where I tested it both with and without the
native format setting and... good news! Playback was successul both
times.

3 logs attached, all with successful playback:
01 Old version with native flac format.log
02 New version with native flac format.log
03 New version transcoded to aiff.log

So it seems to be a success for 1.49.6 but also interesting to see that
1.49.5 doesn't always skip on the same playlist. I'll keep native format
and logging enabled for the moment and keep an eye on things. If I can
replicate it on 1.49.6 I'll get the log over to you.

As a side-note, I haven't applied any other updates to my Sonos or LMS
systems since the original testing, so everything is the same except for
the updated plug-in.

Thanks for your time and efforts with this. Hopefully 1.49.6 will now
workaround the underlying Sonos issue should it start being a problem
again.
