! 
! usually, foo will try to install its elk extension library (elkfoo.so)
! to the fooelk/elk library path (elk integration).  if you don't have
! write access to this location, you may also install the extension
! separatedly from elk by specifying
! 
! ./configure --disable-elk-integration
! 
! you may enable flac reading/writing support by specifying
! 
! ./configure --enable-flac-support
! 
! this is disabled by default so far.

+ 
+ flac file support
+ -----------------
+ 
+ with a libsndfile >= 1.0.12, foo is able to read and write flac files.
+ since flacs cannot be openend in read/write mode and since seeking in
+ flac files being written is not possible, not the full functionality
+ of foo can be used with flac files.  basically, it's only possible to
+ linearily write flac files once from start to end.  no 'blend at all,
+ no 'punch at another point than starting from the beginning.  flac
+ support is mainly meant for doing conversion from and to flac, not as
+ a file format for the workflow of sound synthesis or composing.
