[flac-dev] Two questions

[Federico Miyara]

Martijn,

I've discovered exactly why I was getting that skip/until error. I was 
just following what the flac detailed help (flac --explain) 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.  (...)

As I wanted to stop at sample Nend, I used Nend + 1, instead, to ensure 
that the sample Nend is the last one.

So the explanation given above is misleading since the given sample 
number is indeed included in the decoded interval.

Regards,

Federico Miyara
