You don't need seekpoints to seek in FLAC. You can simply jump to a position and advance to the next valid frame, then conduct a bisection search to find the location you were looking for. Seekpoints act as a helper to reduce seeking (and to make seeking possible for applications too stupid to perform a search on their own). _______________________________________________ Flac mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xiph.org/mailman/listinfo/flac
