Hi,
I noticed the flac decoder has checks to disable the use of --skip and
--until if the total sample count is 0.
Why that?
I've had to fix quite a few cases of undefined behaviour that were
related to skip and until. The code is quite messy actually. I'd
rather get rid of it completely, also since FLAC isn't meant as an
edit tool (editing is not lossless and all) but I know some people
depend on it. I'm pretty sure there are still some ugly bugs hiding in
there.
Unfortunately there is no flac edit tool I know of that can do that. I
do not mean a tool that accepts flac as input and will decode it before
starting any edit, that is highly unpractical if you have a 200GB flac
file and need only the first 0.1% of it.
You could submit a pull request (or send a patch so I can do it) but I
expect the CI will find something wrong with it. We could still try it
anyway.
Great, I will do that.
Best regards
Stefan
