I'm seeing the same problem using 1.7 and 1.8 beta on Mac OS 10.6.3. Trying to load the flac into a deck does nothing in 1.7 and just sets the name in 1.8. No wave form and no play. Files all play in VLC. All the flacs I tried have a duration and are scrubbable in VLC.
Flacs downloaded from here: http://brutalattackrecords.npage.de/index.html - none of the breakcore tracks work as flac.

Log:
Debug: [Reader 1]: libsndfile: Error opening file "/Users/mda/Music/Brutal Attack Records/BRA001 - KoZe.oNe - Get Up.flac"
Debug: [Main]: libsndfile: ERR opening file.

Tried re-encoding the file using Audacity and it didn't help. I think that these 'broken' flac files are going to pretty common and Mixxx needs a real fix. Having to re-encode everything with a specific encoder is only a temp fix, most users are not going to like if if their files play every where except mixxx. Maybe it needs fixing in the what ever lib is being used for flac reading (or change lib).
