[Flac-users] If it decodes OK, would it have tested OK?
Sorry for the elementary question, but heck, that's why I'm on flac-users and not on flac-developers. If a .flac file decodes without error, does that mean that it would have tested OK? I've been assuming that there's an implicit test in the decoding process, and that a mismatch on the internal checksum would make flac report an error on decoding instead of simply saying "done." Have I been right?

Benny K. assured me,> Yep, that's how it seems to work :)Thank you. Not able to read the source code, I had to ask.
