Fixed size array hacks

Using Swift
16

I I've been waiting fixed size array for 2 years now and as I can see, it's not for tomorrow.
I'm working on a DVD decoder. Let me show you a little part of the IFO file header struct.

UInt32		sectorMenuCellAddressTable;
	UInt32		sectorMenuVOBUAddressMap;
	UInt32		sectorTitleCellAddressTable;		// VTS olny
	UInt32		sectorTitleVOBUAddressMap;			// VTS only
	UInt8		unused5[24];
	DataVideoAttributes	menuVideoAttributes;
	UInt16		nbMenuAudioStreams;
	DataAudioAttributes	menuAudioAttributes[MAX_AUDIO_STREAMS];
	UInt8		reserved1[16];
	UInt16		nbMenuSubpictureStreams;			// 0 ou 1
	DataSubpictureAttributes	menuSubpictureAttributes;
	UInt8		reserved2[164];
	DataVideoAttributes	titleVideoAttributes;						// VTS only

For now, the only solution I have is a Obj-C wrapper to access the struct. If Swift wants replace C a day, fixed size array is a must have.
