[Flac-dev] 64-bit FLAC structure sizes and padding

[Ivailo Karamanolev]

What other people explained earlier, there is no difference whatsoever what
is the size of the structure regarding the file format. The library reads
the file independent of the structures you are mentioning and fills the data
in them just in order to present them to the library user (you). It doesn't
depend on the structure size in order to read the file format correctly.
