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.
