Flac - Sep 2004 - Decoding via API from a single FLAC file using a cue sheet

Hello,

I have currently many of my CDs ripped to FLAC to replay them from the
computer. In most cases, there are single files for each track on the
CD. I like the idea to rip the CD to a single track and add a cue sheet
to the metadata which was recently discussed on the list.

How would I access specific tracks using this approach by means of the
FLAC (or FLAC++) API in my own decoder implementation? Are there seek
points in the cue sheet that I can use with the seek_absolute methods?
If so, are there any code examples to extract the seek points from the
metadata?

you can use the metadata interface to get the cuesheeet block.
from there you can extract the sample offsets for tracks/indices.

you can see an example of how to get the sample offsets from
a cuesheet in the latest code for flac which implements the
new --cue option:
