/** \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 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 and sets callbacks for
 *   writing and metadata reporting using
 *   FLAC__stream_encoder_set_*() functions.
 * - The program initializes the instance to validate the settings and
 *   prepare for encoding using FLAC__stream_encoder_init().
 * - 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,
 *   call the metadata callback with the final encoding statistics, 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 user will create a new
 * instance by calling FLAC__stream_encoder_new(), then set the necessary
 * parameters and callbacks with FLAC__stream_encoder_set_*(), and
 * initialize it by calling FLAC__stream_encoder_init().
 *
 * 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()
 * function 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_OK.  Any parameters that are not set before
 * FLAC__stream_encoder_init() will take on the defaults from the
 * constructor.
 *
 * The user must provide function pointers for the following callbacks:
 *
 * - Write callback - This function is called by the encoder anytime there
 *   is raw encoded data to write.  It may include metadata mixed with
 *   encoded audio frames and the data is not guaranteed to be aligned on
 *   frame or metadata block boundaries.
 * - Metadata callback - This function is called once at the end of
 *   encoding with the populated STREAMINFO structure.  This is so file
 *   encoders can seek back to the beginning of the file and write the
 *   STREAMINFO block with the correct statistics after encoding (like
 *   minimum/maximum frame size).
 *
 * The call to FLAC__stream_encoder_init() currently will also immediately
 * call the write callback with the \c fLaC signature and all the encoded
 * metadata.
 *
 * After initializing the instance, the user may feed audio data to the
 * encoder in one of two ways:
 *
 * - Channel separate, through FLAC__stream_encoder_process() - The user
 *   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 user 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 user 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
 * 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, including the callbacks.
