Also this bug looks like similar problem, but I not sure: http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mplayer/+bug/421009
Here patch for channel ordering problem: http://archives.free.net.ph/message/20090809.234723.559a036b.en.html
Either the patch was not include mplayer, or was included, but it did not solve the problem with a multichannel flac.

I must upload sample or it's already known problem?

TBH, I don't think we in ubuntu have the ressources to fix this issue in
a timely manner. this patch needs integration into mplayer's upstream
svn. Can you perhaps raise this topic on the mplayer devel mailing list?

I can't - I never user mailing lists before. May you post link to this bug to mplayer devel mailing list?
