+//!
+//! Asynchronous FLAC encoding and decoding library for Rust.
+//!
+//! This library provides streaming FLAC encoding and decoding with a Tokio-based async API.
+//! The key feature is **true streaming**: data is processed incrementally without buffering
+//! entire files in memory.
+//!
+//! ## Features
+//!
+//! - **Async streaming API**: Built on Tokio's `AsyncRead` trait
+//! - **Low memory footprint**: Processes data in chunks, not entire files
+//! - **Zero-copy where possible**: Efficient buffer management
+//! - **Thread-safe**: Uses channels for inter-task communication
+//!
+//! ## Example: Decode FLAC to PCM
+//!
+//! ```no_run
+//! use pmoflac::decode_flac_stream;
+//! use tokio::fs::File;
+//! use tokio::io::AsyncReadExt;
+//!
+//! #[tokio::main]
+//! async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
+//!     let file = File::open("audio.flac").await?;
+//!     let mut stream = decode_flac_stream(file).await?;
+//!
+//!     let info = stream.info();
+//!     println!("Sample rate: {} Hz", info.sample_rate);
+//!     println!("Channels: {}", info.channels);
+//!
+//!     let mut pcm_data = Vec::new();
+//!     stream.read_to_end(&mut pcm_data).await?;
+//!     stream.wait().await?;
+//!
+//!     Ok(())
+//! }
+//! ```
+//!
+//! ## Example: Encode PCM to FLAC
+//!
+//! ```no_run
+//! use pmoflac::{encode_flac_stream, EncoderOptions, PcmFormat};
+//! use tokio::io::AsyncReadExt;
+//!
+//! #[tokio::main]
+//! async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
+//!     let pcm_data: &[u8] = &[/* PCM samples */];
+//!     let format = PcmFormat {
+//!         sample_rate: 44_100,
+//!         channels: 2,
+//!         bits_per_sample: 16,
+//!     };
+//!
+//!     let mut stream = encode_flac_stream(pcm_data, format, EncoderOptions::default()).await?;
+//!     let mut flac_data = Vec::new();
+//!     stream.read_to_end(&mut flac_data).await?;
