Okay.. How exactly did you upload/download the files? I have tried uploading with drag&drop, copypaste, and using the + menu to add an attachment. I downloaded using both the download button in the audio embed, as well as right click -> open link (which opens in firefox, if that matters). I still have not been able to reproduce this issue unfortunately.

Sorry if i'm putting my nose in, but you may be uploading a type that Fluxer can't strip the metadata from. Based on my understanding of the code, it looks like AV stripping is best effort. Related to the feature request I just put in. https://feedback.fluxer.com/p/4439/ability-to-disable-image-metadata-stripping-per-guild-or-cha

oh yes, the filetype. I tried mp3's as well as wav's but could not reproduce the issue with either.

Digging a little more, it looks like this is a pretty recent change from 4 days ago: https://github.com/fluxerapp/fluxer/commit/f3d5bbfc63926265d45d723a0f6b57a8c5f924b1 and https://github.com/fluxerapp/fluxer/commit/824c38d49c1be879111d2154013e82a722544e88 are the ones that added this. I don't know what the main instance update schedule is like, but this may not be on the main instance yet if they aren't running the latest version.
