This module returns a hash containing basic information about a \s-1FLAC\s0 file,
a representation of the embedded cue sheet if one exists,  as well as tag
information contained in the \s-1FLAC\s0 file's Vorbis tags.
There is no complete list of tag keys for Vorbis tags, as they can be
defined by the user; the basic set of tags used for \s-1FLAC\s0 files include:
.PP
.Vb 7
\&        ALBUM
\&        ARTIST
\&        TITLE
\&        DATE
\&        GENRE
\&        TRACKNUMBER
\&        COMMENT
.Ve
.PP
The information returned by Audio::FLAC::info is keyed by:
.PP
.Vb 9
\&        MINIMUMBLOCKSIZE
\&        MAXIMUMBLOCKSIZE
\&        MINIMUMFRAMESIZE
\&        MAXIMUMFRAMESIZE
\&        TOTALSAMPLES
\&        SAMPLERATE
\&        NUMCHANNELS
\&        BITSPERSAMPLE
\&        MD5CHECKSUM
.Ve
.PP
Information stored in the main hash that relates to the file itself or is
calculated from some of the information fields is keyed by:
.PP
.Vb 6
\&        trackLengthMinutes      : minutes field of track length
\&        trackLengthSeconds      : seconds field of track length
\&        trackLengthFrames       : frames field of track length (base 75)
\&        trackTotalLengthSeconds : total length of track in fractional seconds
\&        bitRate                 : average bits per second of file
\&        fileSize                : file size, in bytes

Opens a \s-1FLAC\s0 file, ensuring that it exists and is actually an
\&\s-1FLAC\s0 stream, then loads the information and comment fields.
.SH "INSTANCE METHODS"
.IX Header "INSTANCE METHODS"
.IP "\(bu" 4
info( [$key] )
.Sp
Returns a hashref containing information about the \s-1FLAC\s0 file from
the file's information header.
.Sp
The optional parameter, key, allows you to retrieve a single value from
the info hash.  Returns \f(CW\*(C`undef\*(C'\fR if the key is not found.
.IP "\(bu" 4
tags( [$key] )
.Sp
Returns a hashref containing tag keys and values of the \s-1FLAC\s0 file from
the file's Vorbis Comment header.
.Sp
The optional parameter, key, allows you to retrieve a single value from
the tag hash.  Returns \f(CW\*(C`undef\*(C'\fR if the key is not found.
.IP "\(bu" 4
cuesheet( )
.Sp
Returns an arrayref which contains a textual representation of the
cuesheet metada block. Each element in the array corresponds to one
line in a .cue file. If there is no cuesheet block in this \s-1FLAC\s0 file
the array will be empty. The resulting cuesheet should match the
output of metaflac's \-\-export\-cuesheet\-to option, with the exception
of the \s-1FILE\s0 line, which includes the actual file name instead of
\&\*(L"dummy.wav\*(R".
.IP "\(bu" 4
seektable( )
.Sp
Returns the seektable. Currently disabled for performance.
.IP "\(bu" 4
application( \f(CW$appId\fR )
.Sp
Returns the application block for the passed id.
.IP "\(bu" 4
picture( [$type ] )
.Sp
Returns a hash containing data from a \s-1PICTURE\s0 block if found.
.Sp
Defaults to type 3 \- \*(L"Front Cover\*(R"
.Sp
When the passed variable is 'all', an array of hashes containing
picture data from all \s-1PICTURE\s0 blocks is returned. Allows for multiple instances
of the same picture type.
.IP "\(bu" 4
set_separator( )
.Sp
For multi-value \s-1ID3\s0 tags, set the separator string. Defaults to '/'
.IP "\(bu" 4
vendor_string( )
.Sp
Returns the vendor string.
.IP "\(bu" 4
set_vendor_string( \f(CW$string\fR )
.Sp
Set the vendor string. Will be written on \fBwrite()\fR
.IP "\(bu" 4
write( )
.Sp
Writes the current contents of the tag hash to the \s-1FLAC\s0 file, given that
there's enough space in the header to do so. If there's insufficient
space available (using pre-existing padding), the file will remain
unchanged, and the function will return a zero value.
