Hey FLAC devs, I managed to hack out a proof-of-concept multithreaded FLAC encoder based on the example libFLAC one. It turned out to be fairly straightforward to get near-linear speedup; I can encode a 636 MB wave file in 6.8s with 8 threads on an 8-core 3.0 GHz Xeon vs. 31.4s with a single thread. Basically I mmap() the input file, divide up the mmap()ed region into nearly equal pieces,
