Now I think about it, I *seem* to remember having problems with my
SansaClip playing (at least some) VBR MP3 files, so possibly that is the
problem. Unfortunately, my SansaClip ended up at the bottom of a puddle,
and never worked right again(!!), so I can't test it.....

So, you might want to try something like:

ffmpeg -i int.flac -b:a 128 out.mp3

Although, with CBR, I'd be tempted to go a little higher on the quality
- especially with classical music. But I'd try 128 first, to check it
solves the playing problem!
