Using #, a seek point at that sample number is added. Using X, a placeholder point is added at the end of a the table. Using #x, # evenly spaced seek points will be added, the first being at sample 0. Using #s, a seekpoint will be added every # seconds (# does not have to be a whole number; it can be, for example, 9.5, meaning a seekpoint every 9.5 seconds). You may use many -S options; the resulting SEEKTABLE will be the unique-ified union of all such values. With no -S options, flac defaults to '-S 10s'. Use --no-seektable for no SEEKTABLE. Note: '-S #x' and '-S #s' will not work if the encoder can't determine the input size before starting. Note: if you use '-S #' and # is >= samples in the input, there will be either no seek point entered (if the input size is determinable before encoding starts) or a placeholder point (if input size is not determinable). .TP diff --git a/man/flac.sgml b/man/flac.sgml index df69aa66..240c5fd5 100644 --- a/man/flac.sgml +++ b/man/flac.sgml @@ -390,6 +390,15 @@ </varlistentry> <varlistentry> + <term><option>--ignore-chunk-sizes</option></term> + + <listitem> + <para>When encoding to flac, ignore the file size headers in WAV and AIFF files to attempt to work around problems with over-sized or malformed files.</para> + <para>WAV and AIFF files both have an unsigned 32 bit numbers in the file header which specifes the length of audio data.
