/* vgmstream's public API
 *
 * By default vgmstream behaves like a simple decoder (extract samples until stream end), but you can configure it
 * to loop N times or even downmix. In other words, it also behaves a bit like a player.
 * 
 * It exposes multiple options and convenience functions beyond simple decoding mainly for various plugins,
 * since it was faster moving shared behavior to core rather than reimplementing every time.
 * 
 * All this may make the API a bit twisted and coupled (sorry, tried my best), probably will improve later. Probably.
 * 
 * Notes:
 * - vgmstream may dynamically allocate stuff as needed (not too much beyond some setup buffers, but varies per format)
 * - previously the only way to use vgmstream was accesing its internals. Now there is an API internals may change in the future
 * - some details described in the API may not happen at the moment (they are defined for future internal changes)
 * - main reason it uses the slighly long-winded libvgmstream_* names is that internals use the vgmstream_* 'namespace'
 * - c-strings should be in UTF-8
 * - the API is still WIP and may be slightly buggy overall due to lack of time, to be improved later
 * - vgmstream's features are mostly stable, but this API may be tweaked from time to time (check API_VERSION)
 *
 * Basic usage (also see api_example.c):
 *   - libvgmstream_init(...)       // base context
 *   - libvgmstream_setup(...)      // config if needed
 *   - libvgmstream_open(...)       // setup format
 *   - libvgmstream_play(...)       // main decode
 *   - output samples + repeat libvgmstream_play until stream is done
 *   - libvgmstream_free(...)       // cleanup
