Hello.

I have encoded a wav to a mp3. But when decoding it back, the wav is slightly bigger 
as the original.

for example:
$ ls -l
-rw-r--r--    1 kristian adlib     4079698 Jun  7 14:24 H-diff.mp3
-rw-r--r--    1 kristian adlib    44969704 Jun  7 15:03 H-diff.wav
-rw-r--r--    1 kristian adlib    44965580 Jun  5 13:58 H-src.wav

I read in the lame-FAQ that this is the intended behaviour. (Cause of some technical 
reason I don't understand yet.) Are there some differences between all the decoders 
out there ?

I'm currently writing a program that compares wav's and saves the differences to 
another file. So it's reasonable bad having an extra chunk of bytes at the beginning 
of the data in the wav-file. Is there any specification how to ignore these extra 
bytes or to know the size of this extra chunk ? (It's no problem ignoring extra bytes 
at the end of the wave...)

Thank you !

*Kristian
