oggflac.ogg: Ogg data, FLAC audio
This error originates in libsndfile, and will need to be dealt with on their end. It may be a malformed FLAC file (check with a known-good one), or a bug in libflac, as called by libsndfile. It may also have been fixed already, as our libsndfile is outdated by about half a year. Work is ongoing on a new version, hopefully to be released in the next few weeks.
