- Currently this option only affects the format of the chunk table,
- so it has no effect if --chunk_table is not given.
-
- The human-readable output consists of one output line per
- chunk and the output contains also the chunk number, the
- duration and the size of each chunk.

- The chunk_num argument must be between -num_chunks and
- num_chunks - 1 inclusively where num_chunks is the total number
- of chunks which is printed when using the --info option. If
- chunk_num is negative, the given number of chunks are counted
- backwards from the end of the file. For example --begin_chunk
- -100 instructs para_afh to start output at chunk num_chunks
- - 100. This is mainly useful for cutting off the end of an
- audio file.

+ The 'chunk table' of an audio file is an array of offsets
+ within the audio file. Each offset corresponds to chunk
+ of encoded data. The exact meaning of 'chunk' depends on
+ the audio format.
