<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div>Hi all, <br><br></div>A few (possibly dumb) questions about decoding.. <br><br></div>1. Is it possible to know the total size of FLAC metadata blocks in advance? Do I really need to parse all metadata blocks until I see the METADATA_BLOCK_HEADER with last-metadata-block == 1?<br><br></div>2. Is there a generally accepted best-practice for seeking if there is no seektable present in the file? The format states <i>"It is possible to seek to any given sample in a FLAC stream without a
seek table, but the delay can be unpredictable since the bitrate may
vary widely within a stream." </i>Is this delay just a fact of life, or is there any way to mitigate? <br><br></div>Thank you all for your help!<br></div>
