Description
When trying to recompress MONSTER.SOU from Sam & Max (floppy disk version, 2,256,495 bytes), the produced file MONSTER.SOF is only 4 bytes long. No error messages are given. If trying to use mp3 and produce MONSTER.SO3, the result is the same.

No output at all, that's why I'm so confused about what to do next. The command line I used is "extract --flac --best -b 1152 -f MONSTER.SOU". Is there any way to try to analyse the offending file?
By the way, the "-f" key of flac should probably be introduced into the readme; the recompression does not work without it as flac.exe refuses to overwrite the temporary output file by default.

Something I forgot to mention: these four bytes in the generated MONSTER.SOF (or MONSTER.SO3) are all zeros.

Ok, I just found what is wrong with it. Instead of using standard VCTL markers, MONSTER.SOU from "Sam&Max Demo" and "Sam&Max (floppy)" use VTTL. There seems to be no other differences. I've made a necessary correction to extract.c; please find it attached.

To make things simpler for you, I've just introduced the necessary correction into the latest version of this tool (compress_scumm_sou.c, ver.1.4). Since I've started working on it, I'll probably sort out passing the parameters to FLAC, using compress.c (ver.1.7) as the starting point.

What output does the tool produce?
