Tell the encoder to write a <TT>PADDING</TT> metadata block of the given length (in bytes) after the <TT>STREAMINFO</TT> block. This is useful if you plan to tag the file later with an <TT>APPLICATION</TT> block; instead of having to rewrite the entire file later just to insert your block, you can write directly over the <TT>PADDING</TT> block. Note that the total length of the <TT>PADDING</TT> block will be 4 bytes longer than the length given because of the 4 metadata block header bytes. You can force no <TT>PADDING</TT> block at all to be written with <TT>--no-padding</TT>, which is the default.
