FLAC Slow Header

[Andrew Gatt]

After a bit more digging i found this bug filed 
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=107659
which seems to describe the problem exactly. In there is a patch which 
says its fixes this problem (if padding is available straight away, 
otherwise on subsequent writes). I've looked at the source file of 
flacfile.cpp in taglib1.5 and it doesn't seem to include the changes. 
Can anyone tell me if this patch is applied or if it was rejected for 
some reason?

Thanks

Andrew
