     * The stream decoder can be used to decode complete streams either from

     * it is initialized.  When decoding via callbacks, the client provides
     * callbacks for reading FLAC data and writing decoded samples, and
     * handling metadata and errors.  If the client also supplies seek-related
     * callback, the decoder function for sample-accurate seeking within the
     * FLAC input is also available.  When decoding from a file, the client
     * needs only supply a filename or open \c FILE* and write/metadata/error
     * callbacks; the rest of the callbacks are supplied internally.  For more
     * info see the \link flac_stream_decoder stream decoder \endlink module.

     *  \ingroup flac_decoder
     *
     *  \brief
     *  This module contains the functions which implement the stream
     *  decoder.
     *
     * The stream decoder can decode native FLAC, and optionally Ogg FLAC
     * (check FLAC_API_SUPPORTS_OGG_FLAC) streams and files.
     *
     * The basic usage of this decoder is as follows:
     * - The program creates an instance of a decoder using
     *   FLAC__stream_decoder_new().
     * - The program overrides the default settings using
     *   FLAC__stream_decoder_set_*() functions.
     * - The program initializes the instance to validate the settings and
     *   prepare for decoding using
     *   - FLAC__stream_decoder_init_stream() or FLAC__stream_decoder_init_FILE()
     *     or FLAC__stream_decoder_init_file() for native FLAC,
     *   - FLAC__stream_decoder_init_ogg_stream() or FLAC__stream_decoder_init_ogg_FILE()
     *     or FLAC__stream_decoder_init_ogg_file() for Ogg FLAC
     * - The program calls the FLAC__stream_decoder_process_*() functions
     *   to decode data, which subsequently calls the callbacks.
     * - The program finishes the decoding with FLAC__stream_decoder_finish(),
     *   which flushes the input and output and resets the decoder to the
     *   uninitialized state.
     * - The instance may be used again or deleted with
     *   FLAC__stream_decoder_delete().
     *
     * In more detail, the program will create a new instance by calling
     * FLAC__stream_decoder_new(), then call FLAC__stream_decoder_set_*()
     * functions to override the default decoder options, and call
     * one of the FLAC__stream_decoder_init_*() functions.
     *
     * There are three initialization functions for native FLAC, one for
     * setting up the decoder to decode FLAC data from the client via
     * callbacks, and two for decoding directly from a FLAC file.
     *
     * For decoding via callbacks, use FLAC__stream_decoder_init_stream().
     * You must also supply several callbacks for handling I/O.  Some (like
     * seeking) are optional, depending on the capabilities of the input.
     *
     * For decoding directly from a file, use FLAC__stream_decoder_init_FILE()
     * or FLAC__stream_decoder_init_file().  Then you must only supply an open
     * \c FILE* or filename and fewer callbacks; the decoder will handle
     * the other callbacks internally.
     *
     * There are three similarly-named init functions for decoding from Ogg
     * FLAC streams.  Check \c FLAC_API_SUPPORTS_OGG_FLAC to find out if the
     * library has been built with Ogg support.
     *
     * Once the decoder is initialized, your program will call one of several
     * functions to start the decoding process:
     *
     * - FLAC__stream_decoder_process_single() - Tells the decoder to process at
     *   most one metadata block or audio frame and return, calling either the
     *   metadata callback or write callback, respectively, once.  If the decoder
     *   loses sync it will return with only the error callback being called.
     * - FLAC__stream_decoder_process_until_end_of_metadata() - Tells the decoder
     *   to process the stream from the current location and stop upon reaching
     *   the first audio frame.  The client will get one metadata, write, or error
     *   callback per metadata block, audio frame, or sync error, respectively.
     * - FLAC__stream_decoder_process_until_end_of_stream() - Tells the decoder
     *   to process the stream from the current location until the read callback
     *   returns FLAC__STREAM_DECODER_READ_STATUS_END_OF_STREAM or
     *   FLAC__STREAM_DECODER_READ_STATUS_ABORT.  The client will get one metadata,
     *   write, or error callback per metadata block, audio frame, or sync error,
     *   respectively.
     *
     * When the decoder has finished decoding (normally or through an abort),
     * the instance is finished by calling FLAC__stream_decoder_finish(), which
     * ensures the decoder is in the correct state and frees memory.  Then the
     * instance may be deleted with FLAC__stream_decoder_delete() or initialized
     * again to decode another stream.
     *
     * Seeking is exposed through the FLAC__stream_decoder_seek_absolute() method.
     * At any point after the stream decoder has been initialized, the client can
     * call this function to seek to an exact sample within the stream.
     * Subsequently, the first time the write callback is called it will be
     * passed a (possibly partial) block starting at that sample.
     *
     * If the client cannot seek via the callback interface provided, but still
     * has another way of seeking, it can flush the decoder using
     * FLAC__stream_decoder_flush() and start feeding data from the new position
     * through the read callback.
     *
     * The stream decoder also provides MD5 signature checking.  If this is
     * turned on before initialization, FLAC__stream_decoder_finish() will
     * report when the decoded MD5 signature does not match the one stored
     * in the STREAMINFO block.  MD5 checking is automatically turned off
     * (until the next FLAC__stream_decoder_reset()) if there is no signature
     * in the STREAMINFO block or when a seek is attempted.
     *
     * The FLAC__stream_decoder_set_metadata_*() functions deserve special
     * attention.  By default, the decoder only calls the metadata_callback for
     * the STREAMINFO block.  These functions allow you to tell the decoder
     * explicitly which blocks to parse and return via the metadata_callback
     * and/or which to skip.  Use a FLAC__stream_decoder_set_metadata_respond_all(),
     * FLAC__stream_decoder_set_metadata_ignore() ... or FLAC__stream_decoder_set_metadata_ignore_all(),
     * FLAC__stream_decoder_set_metadata_respond() ... sequence to exactly specify
     * which blocks to return.  Remember that metadata blocks can potentially
     * be big (for example, cover art) so filtering out the ones you don't
     * use can reduce the memory requirements of the decoder.  Also note the
     * special forms FLAC__stream_decoder_set_metadata_respond_application(id)
     * and FLAC__stream_decoder_set_metadata_ignore_application(id) for
     * filtering APPLICATION blocks based on the application ID.
     *
     * STREAMINFO and SEEKTABLE blocks are always parsed and used internally, but
     * they still can legally be filtered from the metadata_callback.
     *
     * \note
     * The "set" functions may only be called when the decoder is in the
     * state FLAC__STREAM_DECODER_UNINITIALIZED, i.e. after
     * FLAC__stream_decoder_new() or FLAC__stream_decoder_finish(), but
     * before FLAC__stream_decoder_init_*().  If this is the case they will
     * return \c true, otherwise \c false.
     *
     * \note
     * FLAC__stream_decoder_finish() resets all settings to the constructor
     * defaults, including the callbacks.

     *  When the location ot the next link is already known (for example,
     *  because there has already been a seek in the stream) this function
     *  will seek to the end of the link and start processing, but when it
     *  is not, it will do various seeks (when possible) to find the end
     *  of the link. If seeking is not possible (or the tell and length
     *  callback do not work) it will simply read forward instead of
     *  seeking, much like a muted (but faster) version of
     *  FLAC__stream_decoder_process_until_end_of_link().
