 *
 *  \brief
 *  This module contains structure definitions for the representation
 *  of FLAC format components in memory.  These are the basic
 *  structures used by the rest of the interfaces.
 *
 *  First, you should be familiar with the
 *  <A HREF="../format.html">FLAC format</A>.  Many of the values here
 *  follow directly from the specification.  As a user of libFLAC, the
 *  interesting parts really are the structures that describe the frame
 *  header and metadata blocks.
 *
 *  The format structures here are very primitive, designed to store
 *  information in an efficient way.  Reading information from the
 *  structures is easy but creating or modifying them directly is
 *  more complex.  For the most part, as a user of a library, editing
 *  is not necessary; however, for metadata blocks it is, so there are
 *  convenience functions provided in the \link flac_metadata metadata
 *  module \endlink to simplify the manipulation of metadata blocks.
 *
 * \note
 * It's not the best convention, but symbols ending in _LEN are in bits
 * and _LENGTH are in bytes.  _LENGTH symbols are \#defines instead of
 * global variables because they are usually used when declaring byte
 * arrays and some compilers require compile-time knowledge of array
 * sizes when declared on the stack.
 *
