I've discovered exactly why I was getting that skip/until error. I
was just following what the flac detailed help (flac --explain)
says:<br>
<br>
--until={#|[+|-]mm:ss.ss} Stop at the given sample number for
each input<br>
file. The given sample number is not
included<br>
in the decoded output. (...)<br>
<br>
As I wanted to stop at sample Nend, I used Nend + 1, instead, to
ensure that the sample Nend is the last one.<br>
<br>
So the explanation given above is misleading since the given sample
number is indeed included in the decoded interval.<br>
<br>

Thanks, this is very interesting.<br>

Strange, I am not able to replicate that behaviour. When I use
flac -d --skip 0 --until 1 file.flac I get a WAV file with a
single sample per channel. I tested with a mono and a stereo
file. Can you perhaps share the full command line you're using?</blockquote>
<br>
It is embarrassing, I cannot replicate it either. The only
explanation I can find is that I was not running flac from the
command line but through the command line function dos() of
Scilab. When arranging the command string to pass to the function
I used string variables instead of the actual 0 and 1, and it is
possible that they contained different values from the desired
(and believed) ones.<br>
<br>
Apologies, my fault.<br>
