This sounds like it could be related to FLAC's stream decoder, and maybe not
to XMMS at all, since the MP3 plugin continues to work.  Are you certain
that it didn't happen with a previous XMMS, and that it didn't perhaps start
with FLAC 1.0.2?

I can't exactly reproduce your setup...I don't even have any MP3s, only
Oggs, and I don't currently have any sound output devices connected, but I
tested the FLAC plugin itself by decoding a FLAC file about 75 times so far,
and it has not shown any sign of trouble.  So the plugin definitely works
with 1.2.6, at least the decoding portion.  As I understand XMMS, the input
plugin should be unaffected by which output plugin is selected.
