20  * Low Complexity Communication Codec (LC3)
21  *
22  * This implementation conforms to :
23  *   Low Complexity Communication Codec (LC3)
24  *   Bluetooth Specification v1.0
25  *
26  *
27  * The LC3 is an efficient low latency audio codec.
28  *
29  * - Unlike most other codecs, the LC3 codec is focused on audio streaming
30  *   in constrained (on packet sizes and interval) tranport layer.
31  *   In this way, the LC3 does not handle :
32  *   VBR (Variable Bitrate), based on input signal complexity
33  *   ABR (Adaptative Bitrate). It does not rely on any bit reservoir,
34  *       a frame will be strictly encoded in the bytes budget given by
35  *       the user (or transport layer).
36  *
37  *   However, the bitrate (bytes budget for encoding a frame) can be
38  *   freely changed at any time. But will not rely on signal complexity,
39  *   it can follow a temporary bandwidth increase or reduction.
40  *
41  * - Unlike classic codecs, the LC3 codecs does not run on fixed amount
42  *   of samples as input. It operates only on fixed frame duration, for
43  *   any supported samplerates (8 to 48 KHz). Two frames duration are
44  *   available 7.5ms and 10ms.
45  *
46  *
47  * --- About 44.1 KHz samplerate ---
48  *
49  * The Bluetooth specification reference the 44.1 KHz samplerate, although
50  * there is no support in the core algorithm of the codec of 44.1 KHz.
51  * We can summarize the 44.1 KHz support by "you can put any samplerate
52  * around the defined base samplerates". Please mind the following items :
53  *
54  *   1. The frame size will not be 7.5 ms or 10 ms, but is scaled
55  *      by 'supported samplerate' / 'input samplerate'
56  *
57  *   2. The bandwidth will be hard limited (to 20 KHz) if you select 48 KHz.
58  *      The encoded bandwidth will also be affected by the above inverse
59  *      factor of 20 KHz.
60  *
61  * Applied to 44.1 KHz, we get :
62  *
63  *   1. About  8.16 ms frame duration, instead of 7.5 ms
64  *      About 10.88 ms frame duration, instead of  10 ms
65  *
66  *   2. The bandwidth becomes limited to 18.375 KHz
67  *
68  *
69  * --- How to encode / decode ---
70  *
71  * An encoder / decoder context needs to be setup. This context keeps states
72  * on the current stream to proceed, and samples that overlapped across
73  * frames.
74  *
75  * You have two ways to setup the encoder / decoder :
76  *
77  * - Using static memory allocation (this module does not rely on
78  *   any dynamic memory allocation). The types `lc3_xxcoder_mem_16k_t`,
79  *   and `lc3_xxcoder_mem_48k_t` have size of the memory needed for
80  *   encoding up to 16 KHz or 48 KHz.
81  *
82  * - Using dynamic memory allocation. The `lc3_xxcoder_size()` procedure
83  *   returns the needed memory size, for a given configuration. The memory
84  *   space must be aligned to a pointer size. As an example, you can setup
85  *   encoder like this :
86  *
87  *   | enc = lc3_setup_encoder(frame_us, samplerate,
88  *   |      malloc(lc3_encoder_size(frame_us, samplerate)));
89  *   | ...
90  *   | free(enc);
91  *
92  *   Note :
93  *   - A NULL memory adress as input, will return a NULL encoder context.
94  *   - The returned encoder handle is set at the address of the allocated
95  *     memory space, you can directly free the handle.
96  *
97  * Next, call the `lc3_encode()` encoding procedure, for each frames.
98  * To handle multichannel streams (Stereo or more), you can proceed with
99  * interleaved channels PCM stream like this :
100  *
101  *   | for(int ich = 0; ich < nch: ich++)
102  *   |     lc3_encode(encoder[ich], pcm + ich, nch, ...);
103  *
104  *   with `nch` as the number of channels in the PCM stream
