ok heres the log:

its around line 940 that i start to play the file
I've had similar issues from time to time (I think I have that same Dire Straits SACD rip, unless you ripped it yourself). It's usually solved by closing XBMC, letting it stay closed for a couple of seconds then restarting it. Sometimes playing some other format that you know works (like MP3), then playing a FLAC file makes the audio work. Lately though I haven't had any of these issues (I recompile quite often).
this didnt make any difference, Ive recompiled today and still the same. The only way I can get multichannel flacs to play at all is to change my speaker setting to 2.0 instead of 5.1. They then play but obviously not in 5.1

@d_hero: I had a similar issue as well (multichannel FLAC files crashed unless I changed speaker layout to 2.0), although that bug got fixed before the initial merge.

its not fixed for me, the details are in the log above, not sure what could be causing it though?

after further testing, if i disable multichannel lpcm in the settings, i get the song playing and my receiver says Dolby Digital, but its almost unbearable to listen to because its constantly stuttering and skipping. As soon as I re-enable multichannel lpcm, it freezes. Im sure my receiver supports MLPCM, its an Onkyo 809
Edit: With MLPCM disabled, if I play using DVD Player instead of PAPlayer, the files seem to play ok, but this isnt an ideal solution. Any ideas?

Do we know if Nvidia will be fixing the audio issues in the 295 drivers?
I have a GT640 on order, will that work on the 290 drivers?

The 295 drivers do work, but they only work for some people (like me). You'll just have to try them and see.

I have a problem , not sure if its AE related but, on occasion when I press play on a file (stream,video or audio) the video stops, but the audio continues to play in the background for a short while then xbmc hard locks - I have to physically power down the machine (remote stops working,ssh stops and cpu usage climbs), it seems to be getting progressively worse.

This is the log, this was using the iplayer addon - same crash.

Sounds like one of the problems that I encountered lately see this thread http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=128457&highlight=vdpau long story short I disabled VDPAU and VAAPI (just in case) about three weeks ago and haven't seen a video freeze and the audio continue since. As per that thread there is a fix waiting to be merged into git but it changes alot of code and is awaiting review so that it doesn't break more stuff than it fixes. Depending on your hardware disabling VDPAU might not be possible if your computer isn't that powerful, on my system I don't notice any preformance difference at all. Just a headsup.

Yep sound like the issue thanks, at least I know it's not just me

Running XBMCBuntu with the 295.40 driver - been doing so in this format with Audio Engine since before it was merged with master.
I tried specifying <audiophile>1</audiophile> in audio section of advancedsettings for the first time, and then I rebooted.
Results:
All normal 44khz/16bit played fine.
No 5.1 flac files would play.
Some 2ch 24bit/96Khz files would play, but in slow motion, stuttering its way through.
Other 2ch > 44/16 would play fine, and still others would not play at all.
Once I deleted the audiophile parameter from advancedsettings and rebooted, everything went back to playing fine again.
Is this a known issue, and/or is it a Windows only platform setting which isn't supposed to be used on Linux?
Thanks!
