+There is a section dedicated to embedded use in the libFLAC API
+HTML documentation (see doc/html/api/index.html).
+
+Also, there are several places in the libFLAC code with comments marked
+with "OPT:" where a #define can be changed to enable code that might be
+faster on a specific platform.  Experimenting with these can yield faster
+binaries.

 If you have Fink or a recent version of OS X with the proper autotooles,
 the GNU flow above should work.  The Project Builder project has been
 deprecated but we are working on replacing it with an Xcode equivalent.
