-FLAC (http://flac.sourceforge.net/) is an Open Source lossless audio
-codec developed by Josh Coalson.
+FLAC is an Open Source lossless audio codec developed by Josh Coalson from 2001
+to 2009.
+
+From January 2012 FLAC is being maintained by Erik de Castro Lopo under the
+auspices of the Xiph.org Foundation.
 
 FLAC is comprised of
   * `libFLAC', a library which implements reference encoders and
     decoders for native FLAC and Ogg FLAC, and a metadata interface
   * `libFLAC++', a C++ object wrapper library around libFLAC
   * `flac', a command-line program for encoding and decoding files
   * `metaflac', a command-line program for viewing and editing FLAC
     metadata
-  * player plugins for XMMS and Winamp
+  * player plugin for XMMS
   * user and API documentation

 Prerequisites
 ===============================================================================
 
 To build FLAC with support for Ogg FLAC you must have built and installed
 libogg according to the specific instructions below.  You must have
 libogg 1.1.2 or greater, or there will be seeking problems with Ogg FLAC.
 
 If you are building on x86 and want the assembly optimizations, you will
 need to have NASM >= 0.98.30 installed according to the specific instructions
 below.
 
 
 ===============================================================================
 Note to embedded developers
 ===============================================================================
 
 libFLAC has grown larger over time as more functionality has been
 included, but much of it may be unnecessary for a particular embedded
 implementation.  Unused parts may be pruned by some simple editing of
-configure.in and src/libFLAC/Makefile.am; the following dependency
+configure.ac and src/libFLAC/Makefile.am; the following dependency

 There are a few FLAC-specific arguments you can give to
 `configure':
 
 --enable-debug : Builds everything with debug symbols and some
 extra (and more verbose) error checking.
 
 --disable-asm-optimizations : Disables the compilation of the
 assembly routines.  Many routines have assembly versions for
 speed and `configure' is pretty good about knowing what is
 supported, but you can use this option to build only from the
-C sources.  May be necessary for building on OS X (Intel)
+C sources.  May be necessary for building on OS X (Intel).
 
 --enable-sse : If you are building for an x86 CPU that supports
 SSE instructions, you can enable some of the faster routines
 if your operating system also supports SSE instructions.  flac
 can tell if the CPU supports the instructions but currently has
 no way to test if the OS does, so if it does, you must pass
 this argument to configure to use the SSE routines.  If flac
 crashes when built with this option you will have to go back and
 configure without --enable-sse.  Note that
 --disable-asm-optimizations implies --disable-sse.
 
 --enable-local-xmms-plugin : Installs the FLAC XMMS plugin in
 $HOME/.xmms/Plugins, instead of the global XMMS plugin area
 (usually /usr/lib/xmms/Input).
 
 --with-ogg=
 --with-xmms-prefix=
 --with-libiconv-prefix=
 Use these if you have these packages but configure can't find them.
 
 If you want to build completely from scratch (i.e. starting with just
-configure.in and Makefile.am) you should be able to just run 'autogen.sh'

 but make sure and read the comments in that file first.
 
 
 ===============================================================================
 Building with Makefile.lite
 ===============================================================================
 
 There is a more lightweight build system for do-it-yourself-ers.
 It is also useful if configure isn't working, which may be the
 case since lately we've had some problems with different versions
 of automake and libtool.  The Makefile.lite system should work
 on GNU systems with few or no adjustments.
 
 From the top level just 'make -f Makefile.lite'.  You can
 specify zero or one optional target from 'release', 'debug',
 'test', or 'clean'.  The default is 'release'.  There is no
 'install' target but everything you need will end up in the
 obj/ directory.
 
 If you are not on an x86 system or you don't have nasm, you
 may have to change the DEFINES in src/libFLAC/Makefile.lite.  If
 you don't have nasm, remove -DFLAC__HAS_NASM.  If your target is
 not an x86, change -DFLAC__CPU_IA32 to -DFLAC__CPU_UNKNOWN.
