There is a flac parser, and the vorbis parser is not used in playbin2, so
that's unlikely to be the reason. It does sound like it could be a problem in
GStreamer, however, assuming "Banshee with gapless mode" is still using
playbin2.

What's the output of:

 $ gst-inspect-0.10 playbin2 | grep Version
 $ gst-inspect-0.10 flacdec | grep Version
 $ gst-inspect-0.10 flacparse | grep Version
