Would it be possible to have this be:
if (bcast flag present in global header && bytes remaining in syncpoint)
This way files not utilizing the broadcast functionality would not be forced to waste an extra byte per syncpoint in the future when there might be other new fields in the syncpoint that they want to use. Also it's not clear that just coding a 0 for this field would even be valid, according to the description you wrote for buffer_fullness. Having a "broadcast" flag (or buffer-controlled or whatever you like to call it) in the header to indicate that the field is present and to be used solves both problems at once.
ok, ill add a main_flags v to the main header and use if(main_flags & WHATEVER) buffer_fullness v in case we agree on the buffer_fullness field I think we dont need the "if(bytes remaining in the syncpoint)" then anymore [...] -- Michael GnuPG fingerprint: 9FF2128B147EF6730BADF133611EC787040B0FAB I do not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it. -- Voltaire
