/*! \page plc_page Packet loss concealment
\section plc_page_sec_1 What does it do?
The packet loss concealment module provides a suitable synthetic fill-in signal,
to minimise the audible effect of lost packets in VoIP applications. It is not
tied to any particular codec, and could be used with almost any codec which does not
specify its own procedure for packet loss concealment.

Where a codec specific concealment procedure exists, the algorithm is usually built
around knowledge of the characteristics of the particular codec. It will, therefore,
generally give better results for that particular codec than this generic concealer will.

\section plc_page_sec_2 How does it work?
While good packets are being received, the plc_rx() routine keeps a record of the trailing
section of the known speech signal. If a packet is missed, plc_fillin() is called to produce
a synthetic replacement for the real speech signal. The average mean difference function
(AMDF) is applied to the last known good signal, to determine its effective pitch.
Based on this, the last pitch period of signal is saved. Essentially, this cycle of speech
will be repeated over and over until the real speech resumes. However, several refinements
are needed to obtain smooth pleasant sounding results.

- The two ends of the stored cycle of speech will not always fit together smoothly. This can
  cause roughness, or even clicks, at the joins between cycles. To soften this, the
  1/4 pitch period of real speech preceeding the cycle to be repeated is blended with the last
  1/4 pitch period of the cycle to be repeated, using an overlap-add (OLA) technique (i.e.
  in total, the last 5/4 pitch periods of real speech are used).

- The start of the synthetic speech will not always fit together smoothly with the tail of
  real speech passed on before the erasure was identified. Ideally, we would like to modify
  the last 1/4 pitch period of the real speech, to blend it into the synthetic speech. However,
  it is too late for that. We could have delayed the real speech a little, but that would
  require more buffer manipulation, and hurt the efficiency of the no-lost-packets case
  (which we hope is the dominant case). Instead we use a degenerate form of OLA to modify
  the start of the synthetic data. The last 1/4 pitch period of real speech is time reversed,
  and OLA is used to blend it with the first 1/4 pitch period of synthetic speech. The result
  seems quite acceptable.

- As we progress into the erasure, the chances of the synthetic signal being anything like
  correct steadily fall. Therefore, the volume of the synthesized signal is made to decay
  linearly, such that after 50ms of missing audio it is reduced to silence.

- When real speech resumes, an extra 1/4 pitch period of sythetic speech is blended with the
  start of the real speech. If the erasure is small, this smoothes the transition. If the erasure
  is long, and the synthetic signal has faded to zero, the blending softens the start up of the
  real signal, avoiding a kind of "click" or "pop" effect that might occur with a sudden onset.

\section plc_page_sec_3 How do I use it?
Before audio is processed, call plc_init() to create an instance of the packet loss
concealer. For each received audio packet that is acceptable (i.e. not including those being
dropped for being too late) call plc_rx() to record the content of the packet. Note this may
modify the packet a little after a period of packet loss, to blend real synthetic data smoothly.
When a real packet is not available in time, call plc_fillin() to create a sythetic substitute.
That's it!
