is anyone using the --sector-align option of flac, or flac frontend,
or shntool? that option actually complicates the flac code a lot
and I would like to take it out if possible. it really belongs in a
higher level encoding or burning tool.
if you are using it, let me know which tool you use it with and if
it's with wave, aiff, or raw files.

I use it all the time for wav to flac conversions for CDR burning (doesn't everybody?!) or maybe i use it with shntool before encoding to flac, i'ld have to check am into 3rd glass of wine by now and am not on a computer that has all my sound utils to double check....

For one thing, shntool can fix .wav files or anything else it can processs, and for another, when --sector-align had that buffer clearing error a few versions ago, shntool fix didn't exhibit it. So if I'm right about that, Flac Front-End's call to flac --sector-align needs it, but shntool (and Trader's Little Helper, which overlays shntool) shouldn't be affected if --sector-align is dropped from flac.
