What about fseeko()? I use that in my ObjC library for converting between AIFF, FLAC, and WAVE. It takes an unsigned 32-bit offset, as contrasted with fseek() classic. Unless you need negative offsets, that seems like a simple change. FLAC__stream_decoder_seek_absolute() already takes a FLAC__uint64 offset. I just cast my 32-bit unsigned long and use that in the existing FLAC API.
