[mad-dev] Synchronization error near the end of file

Hi all,

I'm tring to get started with "libmad" so I've tried to make an application very similar to "minimad.c" , the one included in the source code, only that instead of reading and writing from STDIN to STDOUT it reads and writes from and to files.

The problem that I get is that I get a strange synchronization error near the end of the file :

Decoding /balthasar/****.mp3 0 <-- ID3Tad size decoding error 0x0101 (lost synchronization) at byte offset 3072836

The actual size of the file is : 3072949

I get this almost with every file I try to decode.

I manage the input by creating with "malloc()" a memory area of "unsigned chars" of the size of the file , then I fread the mp3 file into memory and pass the pointer to the callback input function .

I miss something or I made any mistakes?

Thanks for your help.

Bye

Marcello

PS= Do you know how to check the correctness of a Raw 16bit PCM stream?? I've tried to play my file with many players , but it doesn't work. Sorry but I'm a newbie of digital audio :)
