Okay, so that's not the problem. Clear.

There is metadata, whether you add it or not. I'm not talking about data 
you might add, like a title, tracknumber or trackname, but data that is 
in the STREAMINFO block. That is mandatory and added by the FLAC 
encoder, even if you don't specify any callbacks.

Maybe, can't tell. I'm not really a programmer, I just know a little 
about the FLAC format, so at this point I can't help you anymore. Maybe 
someone else on this list.
