I'm pretty sure I just coded this in a paranoid manner. The chunks 
usually came through in a predictable order, but I was concerned that 
some malformed file would put them in a different order, or that 2 of a 
particular chunk would be encoded (e.g., 2 codebooks). I have code later 
on that complains if any rogue conditions were met.
