+ * If the client also supplies a seek callback, the encoder will also
+ * automatically handle the writing back of metadata discovered while

+/** \defgroup flac_stream_encoder FLAC/stream_encoder.h: stream encoder interface
+ * \ingroup flac_encoder
+ *
+ * \brief
+ * This module contains the functions which implement the stream
+ * encoder.
+ *
+ * The stream encoder can encode to native FLAC, and optionally Ogg FLAC
+ * (check FLAC_API_SUPPORTS_OGG_FLAC) streams and files.
+ *
+ * The basic usage of this encoder is as follows:
+ * - The program creates an instance of an encoder using
+ * FLAC__stream_encoder_new().
+ * - The program overrides the default settings using
+ * FLAC__stream_encoder_set_*() functions. At a minimum, the following
+ * functions should be called:
+ * - FLAC__stream_encoder_set_channels()
+ * - FLAC__stream_encoder_set_bits_per_sample()
+ * - FLAC__stream_encoder_set_sample_rate()
+ * - FLAC__stream_encoder_set_ogg_serial_number() (if encoding to Ogg FLAC)
+ * - FLAC__stream_encoder_set_total_samples_estimate() (if known)
+ * - If the application wants to control the compression level or set its own
+ * metadata, then the following should also be called:
+ * - FLAC__stream_encoder_set_compression_level()
+ * - FLAC__stream_encoder_set_verify()
+ * - FLAC__stream_encoder_set_metadata()
+ * - The rest of the set functions should only be called if the client needs
+ * exact control over how the audio is compressed; thorough understanding
+ * of the FLAC format is necessary to achieve good results.
+ * - The program initializes the instance to validate the settings and
+ * prepare for encoding using
+ * - FLAC__stream_encoder_init_stream() or FLAC__stream_encoder_init_FILE()
+ * or FLAC__stream_encoder_init_file() for native FLAC
+ * - FLAC__stream_encoder_init_ogg_stream() or FLAC__stream_encoder_init_ogg_FILE()
+ * or FLAC__stream_encoder_init_ogg_file() for Ogg FLAC
+ * - The program calls FLAC__stream_encoder_process() or
+ * FLAC__stream_encoder_process_interleaved() to encode data, which
+ * subsequently calls the callbacks when there is encoder data ready
+ * to be written.
+ * - The program finishes the encoding with FLAC__stream_encoder_finish(),
+ * which causes the encoder to encode any data still in its input pipe,
+ * update the metadata with the final encoding statistics if output
+ * seeking is possible, and finally reset the encoder to the
+ * uninitialized state.
+ * - The instance may be used again or deleted with
+ * FLAC__stream_encoder_delete().
+ *
+ * In more detail, the stream encoder functions similarly to the
+ * \link flac_stream_decoder stream decoder \endlink, but has fewer
+ * callbacks and more options. Typically the client will create a new
+ * instance by calling FLAC__stream_encoder_new(), then set the necessary
+ * parameters with FLAC__stream_encoder_set_*(), and initialize it by
+ * calling one of the FLAC__stream_encoder_init_*() functions.
+ *
+ * Unlike the decoders, the stream encoder has many options that can
+ * affect the speed and compression ratio. When setting these parameters
+ * you should have some basic knowledge of the format (see the
+ * <A HREF="../documentation.html#format">user-level documentation</A>
+ * or the <A HREF="../format.html">formal description</A>). The
+ * FLAC__stream_encoder_set_*() functions themselves do not validate the
+ * values as many are interdependent. The FLAC__stream_encoder_init_*()
+ * functions will do this, so make sure to pay attention to the state
+ * returned by FLAC__stream_encoder_init_*() to make sure that it is
+ * FLAC__STREAM_ENCODER_INIT_STATUS_OK. Any parameters that are not set
+ * before FLAC__stream_encoder_init_*() will take on the defaults from
+ * the constructor.
+ *
+ * There are three initialization functions for native FLAC, one for
+ * setting up the encoder to encode FLAC data to the client via
+ * callbacks, and two for encoding directly to a file.
+ *
+ * For encoding via callbacks, use FLAC__stream_encoder_init_stream().
+ * You must also supply a write callback which will be called anytime
+ * there is raw encoded data to write. If the client can seek the output
+ * it is best to also supply seek and tell callbacks, as this allows the
+ * encoder to go back after encoding is finished to write back
+ * information that was collected while encoding, like seek point offsets,
+ * frame sizes, etc.
+ *
+ * For encoding directly to a file, use FLAC__stream_encoder_init_FILE()
+ * or FLAC__stream_encoder_init_file(). Then you must only supply a
+ * filename or open \c FILE*; the encoder will handle all the callbacks
+ * internally. You may also supply a progress callback for periodic
+ * notification of the encoding progress.
+ *
+ * There are three similarly-named init functions for encoding to Ogg
+ * FLAC streams. Check \c FLAC_API_SUPPORTS_OGG_FLAC to find out if the
+ * library has been built with Ogg support.
+ *
+ * The call to FLAC__stream_encoder_init_*() currently will also immediately
+ * call the write callback several times, once with the \c fLaC signature,
+ * and once for each encoded metadata block. Note that for Ogg FLAC
+ * encoding you will usually get at least twice the number of callbacks than
+ * with native FLAC, one for the Ogg page header and one for the page body.
+ *
+ * After initializing the instance, the client may feed audio data to the
+ * encoder in one of two ways:
+ *
+ * - Channel separate, through FLAC__stream_encoder_process() - The client
+ * will pass an array of pointers to buffers, one for each channel, to
+ * the encoder, each of the same length. The samples need not be
+ * block-aligned, but each channel should have the same number of samples.
+ * - Channel interleaved, through
+ * FLAC__stream_encoder_process_interleaved() - The client will pass a single
+ * pointer to data that is channel-interleaved (i.e. channel0_sample0,
+ * channel1_sample0, ... , channelN_sample0, channel0_sample1, ...).
+ * Again, the samples need not be block-aligned but they must be
+ * sample-aligned, i.e. the first value should be channel0_sample0 and
+ * the last value channelN_sampleM.
+ *
+ * Note that for either process call, each sample in the buffers should be a
+ * signed integer, right-justified to the resolution set by
+ * FLAC__stream_encoder_set_bits_per_sample(). For example, if the resolution
+ * is 16 bits per sample, the samples should all be in the range [-32768,32767].
+ *
+ * When the client is finished encoding data, it calls
+ * FLAC__stream_encoder_finish(), which causes the encoder to encode any
+ * data still in its input pipe, and call the metadata callback with the
+ * final encoding statistics. Then the instance may be deleted with
+ * FLAC__stream_encoder_delete() or initialized again to encode another
+ * stream.
+ *
+ * For programs that write their own metadata, but that do not know the
+ * actual metadata until after encoding, it is advantageous to instruct
+ * the encoder to write a PADDING block of the correct size, so that
+ * instead of rewriting the whole stream after encoding, the program can
+ * just overwrite the PADDING block. If only the maximum size of the
+ * metadata is known, the program can write a slightly larger padding
+ * block, then split it after encoding.
+ *
+ * Make sure you understand how lengths are calculated. All FLAC metadata
+ * blocks have a 4 byte header which contains the type and length. This
+ * length does not include the 4 bytes of the header. See the format page
+ * for the specification of metadata blocks and their lengths.
+ *
+ * \note
+ * If you are writing the FLAC data to a file via callbacks, make sure it
+ * is open for update (e.g. mode "w+" for stdio streams). This is because
+ * after the first encoding pass, the encoder will try to seek back to the
+ * beginning of the stream, to the STREAMINFO block, to write some data
+ * there. (If using FLAC__stream_encoder_init*_file() or
+ * FLAC__stream_encoder_init*_FILE(), the file is managed internally.)
+ *
+ * \note
+ * The "set" functions may only be called when the encoder is in the
+ * state FLAC__STREAM_ENCODER_UNINITIALIZED, i.e. after
+ * FLAC__stream_encoder_new() or FLAC__stream_encoder_finish(), but
+ * before FLAC__stream_encoder_init_*(). If this is the case they will
+ * return \c true, otherwise \c false.
+ *
+ * \note
+ * FLAC__stream_encoder_finish() resets all settings to the constructor
+ * defaults.

+ * block is present in the \a metadata array, libFLAC will write an
+ * empty one, containing only the vendor string.
+ *
+ * \note The Ogg FLAC mapping requires that the VORBIS_COMMENT block be
