Hello, metaflac provides exporting CUEpoints, but not SEEKpoints. As i understand, cuepoints represent gaps beetween tracks (inserting pause), whereas seekpoints merely describe a list of seekable points. Can cuepoint be used just as seekpoints (in the end, the only thing which matters is that some classic media players will recognize them).
In the script i have just posted before (joining source PCM/WAV files) the FLAC encoder is invoked with an option --seekpoint=0,sp1,sp2,...,spn where the 'sps' cumulate the number of samples in source files (read with SOX). I dumped the header in hex, and i saw no obvious SEEK section. So i doubt seekpoints are there: - flac raises no error when encoding (maybe a seekpoint at 0 is an error, should i start at 1 ?) - metaflac does report seekpoints - i found no player familiar to me (VLC,maplayer) to check if seekpoints are indeed there However i definitely want to put seekpoints there, it's quite interesting when you have long audio books, opera pieces ... and i am sure there are some media players which know about seekpoints.
