It seems to be an implementation issue:

in Squish's msgapi/api_sq.h:
typedef int32 FOFS;

in Husky's smapi/api_sq.h:
typedef hSINT32 FOFS;

Unfortunately changing that to uint32 wouldn't fix other implementations (Golded uses int32_t).

Even if the Squish specification says unsigned integer, many applications and libraries use a signed integer for the frame offset (including the reference implementation).
