Are there any more secret options? > takes forever on my system (athlon 2500+) and sometimes results in > larger files. so i just stick with -8 -V --lax --no-padding.

I don't use --no-padding because then the whole file have to be rewritten when I add tags. Instead I remove the padding with metaflac after I have tagged my files. And I like using --replay-gain too! > I never use seektables because winamp seeks just fine.

So I want to know if any of the most commonly used applications need or can make use of the seektable?
