I'm running a Win XP machine, using flac version 1.7.1 Etree edition and listening to flac's with VLC 0.8.6c.
When I convert my wavs to flac, I find that often times during playback, the audio will end abruptly, although the song is not finished. It's stranger too because if I drag the play scroller bar thing in VLC past the point at which the song stops, then the remainer of the song will continue playing without complication. I'm also having a problem in trying to decode many of these flac's which are exibiting these faulty playback symptoms. Should I be running a differant version of .flac frontend? Is there a way to fix these undecodable files? Am I missing a step in the encording process (I just drag / drop, select quality '8', choose output, and hit encode)? Please help me out, this is getting rediculous!

did you test the files?? drag the flacs into frontend and hit test. also try foobar for flac playback. if it were just playback problems I would think it was vlc. try installing the newer one or rolling back to a older one. I'm using the same one without issue.

I am using foobar with no problems playing FLACs, ever. ;o) If you want to stay with VLC it may be a there is a newer version out there.

What does "WARNING: skipping unknown sub-chunk 'LIST' " mean? This mssg pops up in the dos-looking screen whenever I encode a wav.
BTW: I have switched to foobar and it seems to be doing better

Some recorders, WAV editors, etc. write metadata to the WAV header. It's just metadata that FLAC doesn't comprehend and therefore strips out when encoding. Doesn't impact the audio, file integrity, etc.
