I have started to work with some of the HDTracks (and others) high end FLAC files on my Plex server but have run into a issue with playback of these higher end files. I could have sworn this did not exist a few releases back but before I started playing version bingo or hacking on things I thought I would ask.
I did see others in my forum travels saying multi-channel could be a issue but that isn’t my case as all mine are 2 channel stereo.

OS : CentOS 6.7

This is not a huge problem now but as I add more of these as time moves on (and want to use them on the go …likely transcoded for space reasons) it will be so I am trying to get ahead of things.
Winamp plays the files fine …going to check a few Cent 6 and 7 players tonight if time allows.
