 *  This module describes the encoder layers provided by libFLAC.
 *
 * The stream encoder can be used to encode complete streams either to the
 * client via callbacks, or directly to a file, depending on how it is
 * initialized.  When encoding via callbacks, the client provides a write
 * callback which will be called whenever FLAC data is ready to be written.
 * If the client also supplies a seek callback, the encoder will also
 * automatically handle the writing back of metadata discovered while
 * encoding, like stream info, seek points offsets, etc.  When encoding to
 * a file, the client needs only supply a filename or open \c FILE* and an
 * optional progress callback for periodic notification of progress; the
 * write and seek callbacks are supplied internally.  For more info see the
 * \link flac_stream_encoder stream encoder \endlink module.

/** \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.
 * - 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, or FLAC__stream_encoder_init_ogg_stream() or
 *   FLAC__stream_encoder_init_ogg_FILE() or
 *   FLAC__stream_encoder_init_ogg_file() for Ogg FLAC, depending on the
 *   nature of the input.
 * - 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 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.
 * - 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.
 *
 * 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.

 *

 * The encoder stores only the \a metadata pointer; the passed-in array

 * Do not modify the array or free the blocks until then.
 *
 * \note
 * The STREAMINFO block is always written and no STREAMINFO block may
 * occur in the supplied array.
 *
 * \note
 * By default the encoder does not create a SEEKTABLE.  If one is supplied
 * in the \a metadata array, but the client has specified that it does not
 * support seeking, then the SEEKTABLE will be written verbatim.  However
 * by itself this is not very useful as the client will not know the stream
 * offsets for the seekpoints ahead of time.  In order to get a proper
 * seektable the client must support seeking.  See next note.
 *
 * \note
 * SEEKTABLE blocks are handled specially.  Since you will not know
 * the values for the seek point stream offsets, you should pass in
 * a SEEKTABLE 'template', that is, a SEEKTABLE object with the
 * required sample numbers (or placeholder points), with \c 0 for the
 * \a frame_samples and \a stream_offset fields for each point.  If the
 * client has specified that it supports seeking by providing a seek
 * callback to FLAC__stream_encoder_init_stream() or both seek AND read
 * callback to FLAC__stream_encoder_init_ogg_stream() (or by using
 * FLAC__stream_encoder_init*_file() or FLAC__stream_encoder_init*_FILE()),
 * then while it is encoding the encoder will fill the stream offsets in
 * for you and when encoding is finished, it will seek back and write the
 * real values into the SEEKTABLE block in the stream.  There are helper
 * routines for manipulating seektable template blocks; see metadata.h:
 * FLAC__metadata_object_seektable_template_*().  If the client does
 * not support seeking, the SEEKTABLE will have inaccurate offsets which
 * will slow down or remove the ability to seek in the FLAC stream.
 *
 * \note
 * The encoder instance \b will modify the first \c SEEKTABLE block
 * as it transforms the template to a valid seektable while encoding,
 * but it is still up to the caller to free all metadata blocks after
 * encoding.
 *
 * \note
 * A VORBIS_COMMENT block may be supplied.  The vendor string in it
 * will be ignored.  libFLAC will use it's own vendor string. libFLAC
 * will not modify the passed-in VORBIS_COMMENT's vendor string, it
 * will simply write it's own into the stream.  If no VORBIS_COMMENT
 * 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
 * the second metadata block of the stream.  The encoder already supplies
 * the STREAMINFO block automatically.  If \a metadata does not contain a
 * VORBIS_COMMENT block, the encoder will supply that too.  Otherwise, if
 * \a metadata does contain a VORBIS_COMMENT block and it is not the
 * first, the init function will reorder \a metadata by moving the
 * VORBIS_COMMENT block to the front; the relative ordering of the other
 * blocks will remain as they were.
