[Flac-dev] problem with seek_absolute in libFLAC++

[David Collett]

Nevermind, I have discovered the problem(not really a problem).
I had called:
set_metadata_ignore_all();
because I didnt actually need to use the metadata in my application.
But it seems that with this option set, "total_samples" is not set 
correctly after calling init().

Upon further debugging, I discovered that the test "sample < 
total_samples" was what is failing in the seek routine. By removing the 
call to set_metadata_ignore_all() the problem has disapeared.

Sorry this is a rushed explanation, I have to go now and wont be on a PC 
until saturday, better this that you thinking there is a real problem!

Thanks for you quick response,
David
