            Bug ID: 796617
           Summary: flac files don't play because of supposed "bad header"
    Classification: Platform
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: 1.x
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: gst-plugins-good
          Assignee: gstreamer-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: t.schmittlauch+gnome at orlives.de
        QA Contact: gstreamer-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
     GNOME version: ---

gstreamer refuses to play certain flac files, complaining them to have bad
headers:

```
$ gst-play-1.0 ~/Musik/CC-Musik/Electro/Mizukis\ Last\ Chance/Mizukis\ Last\
Chance\ -\ Holy\ Bleep/Mizuki\'s\ Last\ Chance\ -\ Holy\ Bleep\ -\ 01\ Holy\
Bleep.flac

```

`flac -t` shows no errors on them though and other players like vlc can play
the files without any problems.
I didn't encode the file myself so I can't say with which software or
parameters they have been created. But as the song is released under Creative
Commons, I can post a link to it:
https://files.orlives.de/pub/Mizuki%27s%20Last%20Chance%20-%20Holy%20Bleep%20-%2001%20Holy%20Bleep.flac

software versions:
gstreamer-1.12.4
gst-plugins-good-1.12.4
gst-plugins-flac-1.12.4
flac-1.3.2

distribution: Gentoo Linux x86_64
