I'm embedding flac in a Samba VFS application. flac gets called to decompress files, which Samba serves up to the client as WAV files. Every time a Windows client browses a folder, it opens music files to read the header, and then it closes them without reading the entire file. I'm accessing flac via popen/pclose.

Each time I close the pipe to flac 'prematurely' (i.e. before flac has decoded the entire file) it issues "ERROR while decoding data" because FLAC__file_decoder_process_until_end_of_file returns an error indication.

As a quick hack, I added a check for errno == EPIPE in decode.c. This solves *my* immediate problem.

I propose that, when output is to stdout, FLAC__file_decoder_process_until_end_of_file should not return an error indication on a broken output pipe, because pipes get broken all the time.
