MPC files being skipped after a few secs

Created attachment 6158 [details] Zipped server.log corresponding to the playiong of one MPC album Since v7.3 (but it still happens with 7.4.0 - r28672), whenever I want to listen to a Musepack (MPC) file, the squeezebox plays the first track for 1 sec and skips to the next one, then it plays second track for 1 sec and skips, but then the third track plays fine. After the third track is played to completion this problem is repeated. This is not always the third track but it can't play the first few tracks after each properly played track. FLAC and MP3 albums play with no issues. These MPC files are not corrupt and this happens with any mpc encoded album. On v7.3, I could see a lot of instances of socketwrapper.exe on my computer (for every skipped file). On v7.4, it seems SlimServer doesn't use external decoders the same way, so no more accumulation of nistances of socketwrapper.exe Atatched is a server.log corresponding to playing a whole album in MPC. Only tracks #6 and #7 (maybe #8 and #9) played correctly IIRC.
What application did you use to rip the files into MPC format.

well, IIRC, the present MPCs were transcoded with foobar2000. But it seems to happen with any MPC. For example, with MPCs gained from ripped CDs through EAC. And as I said, there was no problem with these files on v7.2 I can send you one of them if you wish
I brought this problem up in discussion forums too. (In reply to comment #1) > What application did you use to rip the files into MPC format. This does not matter I believe but my files are EAC ripped too. The encoder is mppenc (which is the only encoder). I see a lot of instances of socketwrapper.exe on my computer (for every skipped file). Reverting to 7.2 solves the problem.
I have tested here with the Musepack files I have, and can not replicate the error. Please attach a file that is failing for you and I will retest.
Also, please try the latest night for 7.4.1, does that resolve the issue?
