But, it seems like this is not exclusively due to file size, since I have another version of the song “Billy The Mountain” lying around which will play nicely on the Roku Soundbridge. The difference I know is that it is encoded with an older flac-version

 vendor string: reference libFLAC 1.1.2 20050205

and the newer

 vendor string: reference libFLAC 1.2.1 20070917

EDIT: I might also add that the .flac files causing trouble are perfectly playable in e.g. amarok

I actually think iirc it’s to do with cover art.

Well, that’s only partly true.. that and flac command-line executable for flac, I think.
