one might notice in ogg_decoder_aspect.c a function called FLAC__ogg_decoder_aspect_read_callback_wrapper that wants alot of bytes, 8192 of em, yet, back over in encoder land, your typical constant subframe is only 613 bytes! this means we must of course stop the decoding for a second and fall behind while we build up silent time. it would be nice if this made any sense. -David
