This is fixed in r32679 now, thanks.

Unfortunately, MPlayer is still not fully usable for FLAC audio as
searching in FLAC files is broken now. Pressing e.g. the arrow right key
results in playback advancing in very big steps (30 seconds and more) or
going straight to the end of the file. When hitting the arrow left key,
MPlayer still jumps forward, but in rather small, erratic steps. Any
attempt to search prints

[flac @ 0x8a1d480]invalid sync code
[flac @ 0x8a1d480]invalid frame header

to console.

Is it thinkable to backout the FLAC parser and take another approach
when a solution matures? Would using the system libFLAC help in any way?
