Dear All,
1) Is there a way to get the audio size (number of samples) and other information, such as number of channels, from a flac file without fully decoding it? I've found that the WAV header is replicated after the "riffRIFF" keyword, but I don't seem to be able to predict where it is located or whether it is safe or not to asume that the first time such keyword appears is the correct one, and if there is an upper bound for its location; for instance, some text such as the name of a song or some comment could contain that keyword, even if it is unlikely. The information preceding the "reference libFLAC 1.3.3" encoder version seems to be non-text information.
2) I decode using the option --skip=0 --until=1. I would expect to get a wav file with only 1 sample, but I get 3 samples. Stictly no sample should be decoded since 0 samples should be skipped and the help says:
--until={#|[+|-]mm:ss.ss} Stop at the given sample number for each input file. The given sample number is not included in the decoded output.
so sample #1 should not be included, unless the first sample is sample #0, in which case only 1 sample, and not 3 samples, should be included in the output file.
