Hi Mark,
I understand that this is the simplest way, but I cannot use it
straightforwardly ...
I have a code which receives audio frames from a (Symbian OS) mobile
microphone input, and decides how to pack them into RTP packets
depending on whether they are normal frames, silence information
(comfort noise) frames or silence frames. It may decide to push 3 frames
into a RTP packet, or two, or send some frames in separate packets etc.
The logic is rather complicated and designed for optimal use over
low-bandwidth connection like GPRS. The trouble is that the code looks
at the frame first, detects whether it is a regular, silence or silence
info frame, and only then decides how to build a RTP packet, if any
(previous frames, saved from previous iterations, play role in this
logic too).
This works well for the built-in (by Nokia) codecs like AMR or G.729,
which give you the encoded frame immediately, but I cannot extend it
straightforwardly to Speex; in this case, I have to record the 320-byte
PCM block and I need to compress it with speex_encode myself; only then
I know whether the result is be a normal frame, or a silence frame (if
VAD is active), or a comfort noise frame. So I need to run speex_encode
separately on each 20 ms block, then decide what to do depending on the
result of the encode operation. But I also need to pack some Speex
frames together, if the code decides to put 2 or more frames into a
single RTP packet... now you see why I need to have them separate at
first, and why I need to have the ability to combine them into a RTP
packet later.
I believe that some of the packing utilities in speex_bits can help me,
but I am not sure how to use them..
Best regards
