To reposition the source stream on the last actually read data.

No, this is "normal".

I'll introduce a property in TDecompressionstream: 'SourceSeekable' or so
which can be used to control the behaviour.
Another solution is to implement a long-standing idea of mine:
to introduce a property in TStream:
StreamCapabilities : TStreamCapabilities;
with
TStreamCapability = (scSeekForward,scSeekBackward,scRead,scWrite,scSize);
TStreamCapabilities = set of TStreamCapability;
I think I'll go for the latter one.
Michael.
