Great work on the codec.  I have found it recently when looking for
MELP alternatives.  My use case is for UDP transmission and below the
2500 rate I do not get any real benefit due to other overheads. I am
therefore glad that the codec will have a choice of rate (might even
be nice to see a 5000 rate). How will this be exposed? I assumed the
api was not fixed yet and I can soon adapt my programme but it would
be interesting to know how the rate will be selected.

I am using codec2 as part of a Qt programme and linking to it as a
library and have basically wrapped the c2enc and c2dec example in a
QIODevice which makes it quite easy to en/decode stuff without having
to know much about the implementation in the rest of the code.
Because I am using c++ I had to adapt the header file so I could use
it (a patch is below that should allow others to use with c++ and not
change anything for c code).

I am multicasting to a network with codec2 wrapped in a really simple
protocol.  I am just working out my jitter buffer implementation at
the moment but on my reliable home network it works really well.

I am trying to figure out a simple way to deal with packet loss.  I
was thinking of a moving overlapping window so I basically transmit
each frame twice so if I lose a packet I have a chance that I will get
the data from another packet. I just wondered if there is any chance
of an encoding scheme that would mean that I could encode the same
frame two different ways such that any one can produce acceptable
voice quality but if both are available then we get even better
quality. Maybe flipping between wideband/narrowband. Do not know much
about making voice codecs so this could be a bad idea but thought it
might be an efficient way to make the best of my need to transmit each
frame twice. Due to the packet overhead and the short time window for
FEC I see no point in my use case at looking at highly efficient FEC
schemes.

Anyway thanks for codec2,
Stuart Marsden

Patch to apply to codec2.h so can be used with c++:
