Research direction

Start by reproducing the macro batch operation on Windows with the reported OGG files, then trace the reported SqliteSampleBlock::GetBlob::step context and sqlite3 error data. Done means the batch completes without the file-read failure, or the specific problematic file and reproducible cause are identified.
