Hi all,

I’ve been playing around with tags this morning. I created a tagged  
stream  
where there is a tag on every sample (stream to tagged stream block with  
packet length = 1).

I noticed that I can’t get a tag.offset value to be 0. Since tag.offset  
is  
the absolute offset value of the tagged item and there is a tag on every  
item, am I correct in concluding that the absolute offset value begins  
at 1  
and not 0?

v/r,  
Rich
