libFLAC does unaligned SIMD all the time, both SSE and AVX, so I don't
think that is true. See

I'm not sure what you want from me here. On fairly modern CPUs,
unaligned memory access isn't really slower in most use cases. I
highly doubt this would really be a performance problem in your code
in any way. Maybe you can present some numbers?

Kind regards, Martijn van Beurden
