[Flac] playback problems with oppo BDP-95

[Brian Willoughby]

On this note, is there any way to ask the current version of flac to  
create a file that is backwards compatible with an older version of  
flac?  I suppose one possibility is to go back into the archives and  
grab an older version of flac, then use that to compress everything.   
The trouble then becomes how to determine which version of the  
decoder your hardware implements, so that you can make sure your flac  
files are not too "new" for the hardware.
