Hi,<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp; I am using libmad to handle mp3 access for my project ( <a href="http://www.xbat.org">www.xbat.org</a> ).&nbsp; Our particular application requires fast, accurate seeking, and I have been successful in using header information to seek to the correct frame.&nbsp; I am having trouble, though when I set the decoder (from the &quot;high-level&quot; API) running.&nbsp; For many files it works fine, but for some, I get &quot;bad main-data-begin pointer&quot; errors for the first one or two frames decoded.&nbsp; 
<br>&nbsp; Right now, I am circumventing the problem through the use of the MAD_FLOW_IGNORE symbol in the error callback function, but this results in the somewhat-undesirable behavior of decoding zeros for the first several frames.&nbsp; Is there a way around this, short of deliberately seeking several frames early and then discarding the unneeded data?&nbsp; Might this have something to do with bit reservoir encoding?&nbsp; Any help would be much appreciated.
