5 years ago Hello.
Actually, there is no such thing as a "specific FLAC codec". There may be different software (or hardware) implementations that encode or decode audio data to/from FLAC format, but the FLAC format is always the same. There exists an "official" FLAC specification to which every implementation must adhere: https://xiph.org/flac/format.html
LameXP uses the "official" FLAC encoder/decoder (libFLAC) from Xiph.org, latest "stable" version – which is the reference implementation of the FLAC format. So, if the "official" FLAC decoder won't decode a specific FLAC file, then the file in question is probably either invalid or broken in some kind of way.
Anyhow, there was a regression affecting the file format detection (which is based on MediaInfo) in the last LameXP release. It is quite possible that the proper decoder is not chosen for your input file.
Did you try with current "RC" release? LameXP-RC3.2018-10-21.Release-Static.Build-2176.exe

Seems like the program is having trouble converting this specific FLAC codec? I've worked with other FLAC files and they had no issue being converted to MP3 320Kbps CBR. I used Audacity instead to convert this file and it worked.
