I had some WAV files that I encoded to FLAC. Unfortunately, some of the WAV files had premature endings for some reason, leading to an "unexpected end of stream" in the decoding process. The corresponding FLAC files have a broken STREAMINFO as a result.

Comparison between a working file and a non-working file, respectively.

How can I rebuild the STREAMINFO?
