I was thinking more about differences between variable and fixed block size which can be detected in STREAMINFO header. So far, it seems that almost all flac are coded with fixed block but I was wondering is higher compression level would not trigger use of variable block which then cause the problem on older devices. We can now parse such header so we'd know and could use different rules. About rules, would something like "flc flc boom *" (e.g.) work for Boom only players and do the trick?
