Hi Klaus,

I'm not really sure where to start with this one.

What is a HiRez flac? How does it differ from a regular flac?

XRUNS are a kernel/music player thing and not really anything to do 
with the FLAC library.

In order to better understand this issue, you need to separate the decoding
from the playback. Do you have two files, one which rarely/never displays
the problem and one which usually/always displays the problem? Are you
able to post those files to a public website where I can retrieve them
and test them?
