  *  \brief
  *  This module describes the two encoder layers provided by libFLAC.
  *
- * For encoding FLAC streams, libFLAC provides two layers of access.  The
- * lowest layer is stream-level encoding, and the highest is file-level
- * encoding.  The interfaces are described in the \link flac_stream_encoder
- * stream encoder \endlink and \link flac_file_encoder file encoder \endlink
- * modules respectively.  Typically you will choose the highest layer that
- * your output source will support.

+ * For encoding FLAC streams, libFLAC provides three layers of access.  The

  * The stream encoder relies on callbacks for writing the data and
  * metadata. The file encoder provides these callbacks internally and you
  * need only supply the filename.

+ * The stream encoder relies on callbacks for writing the data and has no

+ * the stream encoder and also automaticallay handles the writing back of
+ * metadata discovered while encoding.  However, you must provide extra
+ * callbacks for seek-related operations on your output, like seek and
+ * tell.  The file encoder wraps the seekable stream encoder and supplies
+ * all of the callbacks internally, simplifying the processing of standard
+ * files.  The only callback exposed is for progress reporting, and that
+ * is optional.
