[FFmpeg-devel] mpegaudio_parser question

[Karsten Otto]

I gathered as much, and indeed that is happening in libavformat/utils.c (seek_frame_internal with AVFMT_NOGENSEARCH in my case). But the mp3 parser keeps leading data even if freshly created. I was wondering why, maybe some codecs need it. Anyway, my question remains: What is a format supposed to do?

Cheers, Karsten
