TBH I still haven't been able to reproduce the problem with master even
with the 3 sample files you provided. I did spot some bugs while looking
at the code though. Stuart committed one of the fixes but missed another
important one in
https://github.com/paul-h/mythtv/commit/6373313d0c9f0ee5ce2f7d71d2ed2fbaba901cfb.
I also wonder if  http://code.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/10721 may be
affecting you as well if you have a lot of flac files.
