Hi everyone,

I was fiddling with FLAC executable on Linux and also making FLAC files with 
foobar2000 under WINE. I was using the same exact options for both linux native 
executable and flac.exe through foobar2000. But I have noticed something: The 
FLAC files themselves created from flac.exe and flac(ELF) are not bit 
identical. They differ in something (Not audio data).

Looking at this, I used a Windows native installation to check about this and 
confirmed that the flac.exe in Windows is also creating a file that differs a 
little than the flac ELF. At first glance I compared the metadata and it seemed 
that metaflac returned different stream_offsets from the seektable, comparing 
the same music file created with flac-win and flac-lin. Then I removed entirely 
both their tags & padding, but they still are different. 

Is this normal? Music data is absolutely untouched, however, can this be an 
architecture difference between the compilers that made the Win32 and ELF 
executables? Just for the record, what is exactly making the files different?

Thanks a lot.
