Song length cut into half when playing FLAC files

[nordboerg]

Hello,

I've found a topic about the issue, but that thread is closed and I think it sill needs attention.

My subsonic is on a debian server, I use the latest subsonic version along with the latest flac and lame encoders.
The default web client works flawlessly but the most recent minisub chrome app produces this very strange issue. It cuts and plays exactly the half of my FLAC files. I've tried many different albums...

Here is what the log sais:

any comment on this? do I must encode my flac to CBR to get the full length song? which means I must set it back and forth between V0 and CBR depending on where I am. not the most convinient way...

Try adding
-ar 44100 -
to step 1 of the transcode. Worked for me.
