The flac parser code is complex and confusing me a bit

If i would write av_assert1() then i would be saying that iam 100% sure this
is true and i certainly do not feel that confident. Thats why its av_assert0
and also why i have neither marked this in coverity a false positive nor a bug.
I was hoping posting this to the mailing list would result in either someone
confirming it to be correct or telling me that iam an idiot and that this is
wrong. And it seemed remi agreed that the change is correct so i intended to
push it but iam happy to wait if you or someone else wants to take a look

thx
