Firefox not playing some FLAC files

Chrome doesn't seem to care. It plays both.

Hi, yes I don’t recall the details but there are certain things in the flac header that Firefox doesn’t support or has a defect with. We’re currently don’t have any detection around this to force a transcode instead.

I read an older thread about there being an image as the first stream.

But this isn't one of those files.  But I guess if there's currently not a solution then there's no point in digging into it further.

At some point we'll add detection for what Firefox can't handle and be able to force transcoding for it. It just keeps getting shoved down the list due to being an issue that is limited to firefox only.
