Maybe not on FLAC. I would suggest that you write a small
standalone test program to test this and if you don't
get what you think you should, send me the test program
and an explanation of what you think you should get.

This is not possible on all file types, especially not
on compressed formats like FLAC. It does however work
on PCM data for most file formats.
