Is there anyway you can share what you have done so far? I'd love to see your work available under a GNU type license so you can teach the whole world and others can help add and improve!
Is there any need for compressed data? As far as I can tell no-one has ever, in a double blind test, been able to recognise anything better than CD quality uncompressed audio. Mpeg adds features that can be identified with practice. In theory flac doesnt but the mere act of decompression can lead to jitter and as there is, in this day and age, no need to compress CD quality then why bother?
It may be worth having higher bit rate and depth on audio recording/processing but for listening purposes CD is as good as you need, or in deed can get.
