Hi Dave, I don't have older FLAC sources handy to check, but I believe that text like METADATA_BLOCK_HEADER was taken literally from the C language header files. These days, I believe that such types have been renamed like FLAC__METADATA_TYPE_HEADER to avoid potential conflicts with libraries o

Hi all, I'm jumping in on this thread to make a few remarks about the spec. I implemented a FLAC decoder by only looking at the spec, and I have a few notes that would have saved me a lot of time if the spec had mentioned them. They are obvious in hindsight, of course. * If the channel assignment
