| Value | Meaning |
|---|---|
| FLAC__STREAM_DECODER_ERROR_STATUS_LOST_SYNC | |
| FLAC__STREAM_DECODER_ERROR_STATUS_BAD_HEADER | < An error in the stream caused the decoder to lose synchronization. |
| FLAC__STREAM_DECODER_ERROR_STATUS_FRAME_CRC_MISMATCH | < The decoder encountered a corrupted frame header. |
| FLAC__STREAM_DECODER_ERROR_STATUS_UNPARSEABLE_STREAM | < The frame's data did not match the CRC in the footer. |
Possible values passed back to the FLAC__StreamDecoder error callback. \c FLAC__STREAM_DECODER_ERROR_STATUS_LOST_SYNC is the generic catch- all. The rest could be caused by bad sync (false synchronization on data that is not the start of a frame) or corrupted data. The error itself is the decoder's best guess at what happened assuming a correct sync. For example \c FLAC__STREAM_DECODER_ERROR_STATUS_BAD_HEADER could be caused by a correct sync on the start of a frame, but some data in the frame header was corrupted. Or it could be the result of syncing on a point the stream that looked like the starting of a frame but was not. \c FLAC__STREAM_DECODER_ERROR_STATUS_UNPARSEABLE_STREAM could be because the decoder encountered a valid frame made by a future version of the encoder which it cannot parse, or because of a false sync making it appear as though an encountered frame was generated by a future encoder.
