Try disabling /system/add-ons/media/plugins/ape_reader
We use a separate add-on for APE because at the time (back in 2014), ffmpeg wouldn't decode 24-bit APE files I think (it would do only 16-bit ones). If ffmpeg is now better at this, we could disable ape_reader again. But please check with 24-bit files too.

Example file: https://monkeysaudio.com/files/Abba.ape
This is with hrev55968 , x86-64

MediaPlayer file info window says only: Initialization failed.
FFMPEG reports:
Stream #0:0: Audio: ape (APE / 0x20455041), 44100 Hz, stereo, s16p

Right, it is currently disabled for x86_64 and not compiling.
We should port the SDK at HaikuPorts I guess (from https://monkeysaudio.com/developers.html), then adjust the ape_reader to use that new version. Currently it is based on a much older version of the SDK with a copy of it in the sourcetree.
Do you have an example file? I didn't find any trying to search for it (only sound effects of actual monkeys) Also, what hrev is this?
