FLAC encoding via libFLAC FFI

Documentation

Building

There are two supported libFLAC back-ends:

• flac-sys, under the "flac" feature, the default, and
• libflac-sys, under the "libflac" feature group.

flac-sys tries to link to a libFLAC already present on your system, but it doesn't do a very good job, and might need some help by copying /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libFLAC.so (Debian), $MSYSROOT\mingw64\lib\libflac.dll.a (msys2), or equivalent to target/{debug,release}/deps as libflac.so/libflac.dll.a/&c. (note the lowercase).

libflac-sys tries to build libFLAC; this is a problem because it (a) doesn't work all that well (at all) under GNU/NT, and (b) requires the host system to have both CMake and a C toolchain funxional.

The "libflac-noogg" feature will build libFLAC without OGG support.

The "libflac-nobuild" feature will still use libflac-sys but instruct it to link to the system libFLAC.

Downstreams are encouraged to expose these features to the user.
