+ * @defgroup PJMEDIA_CODEC Codec Framework
+ * @brief Media codec framework and management
+ * @{
+ *
+ * @section codec_mgmt_sec Codec Management
+ * @subsection codec_fact_sec Codec Manager
+ *
+ * The codec manager is used to manage all codec capabilities in the endpoint.
+ * When used with media endpoint (pjmedia_endpt), application can retrieve
+ * the codec manager instance by calling #pjmedia_endpt_get_codec_mgr().
+ *
+ * @subsection reg_new_codec Registering New Codec
+ *
+ * New codec types can be registered to PJMEDIA (or to be precise, to the
+ * codec manager) during run-time.
+ * To do this, application needs to initialize an instance of
+ * codec factory (#pjmedia_codec_factory) and registers this codec factory
+ * by calling #pjmedia_codec_mgr_register_factory().
+ *
+ * For codecs implemented/supported by PJMEDIA, this process is normally
+ * concealed in an easy to use function such as #pjmedia_codec_g711_init().
+ *
+ * @subsection codec_factory Codec Factory
+ *
+ * A codec factory (#pjmedia_codec_factory) is registered to codec manager,
+ * and it is used to create and release codec instance.
+ *
+ * The most important member of the codec factory is the "virtual" function
+ * table #pjmedia_codec_factory_op, where it contains, among other thing,
+ * pointer to functions to allocate and deallocate codec instance.
+ *
+ * @subsection codec_inst Codec Instance
+ *
+ * Application allocates codec instance by calling #pjmedia_codec_mgr_alloc_codec().
+ * One codec instance (#pjmedia_codec) can be used for simultaneous encoding
+ * and decoding.
+ *
+ * The most important member of the codec instance is the "virtual" function
+ * table #pjmedia_codec_op, where it holds pointer to functions to
+ * encode/decode media frames.
+ *
+ * @subsection codec_ident Codec Identification
+ *
+ * A particular codec type in PJMEDIA can be uniquely identified by two
+ * keys: by #pjmedia_codec_info, or by #pjmedia_codec_id string. A fully
+ * qualified codec ID string consists of codec name, sampling rate, and
+ * number of channels. However, application may use only first parts of
+ * the tokens as long as it will make to codec ID unique. For example, "gsm"
+ * is a fully qualified codec name, since it will always have 8000 clock
+ * rate and 1 channel. Other examples of fully qualified codec ID strings
+ * are "pcma", "speex/8000", "speex/16000", and "L16/16000/1". A codec
+ * id "speex" (without clock rate) is not fully qualified, since it will
+ * match the narrowband, wideband, and ultrawideband Speex codec.
+ *
+ * The two keys can be converted to one another, with
+ * #pjmedia_codec_info_to_id() and #pjmedia_codec_mgr_find_codecs_by_id()
+ * functions.
+ *
+ * Codec ID string is not case sensitive.
+ *
+ *
+ * @section using_codec Using the Codec Framework
+ * @subsection init_alloc_codec Allocating Codec
+ *
+ * Application needs to allocate one codec instance for encoding and decoding
+ * media frames. One codec instance can be used to perform both encoding
+ * and decoding.
+ *
+ * Application allocates codec by calling #pjmedia_codec_mgr_alloc_codec().
+ * This function takes #pjmedia_codec_info argument, which is used to locate
+ * the particular codec factory to be used to allocate the codec.
+ *
+ * Application can build #pjmedia_codec_info structure manually for
+ * the specific codec, or alternatively it may get the #pjmedia_codec_info
+ * from the codec ID string, by using #pjmedia_codec_mgr_find_codecs_by_id()
+ * function.
+ *
+ * The following snippet shows an example to allocate a codec:
+ *
+ \code
+ pj_str_t codec_id;
+ pjmedia_codec_info *codec_info;
+ unsigned count = 1;
+ pjmedia_codec *codec;
+
+ codec_id = pj_str("pcma");
+
+ // Find codec info for the specified coded ID (i.e. "pcma").
+ status = pjmedia_codec_mgr_find_codecs_by_id( codec_mgr, &codec_id,
+ &count, &codec_info, NULL);
+
+ // Allocate the codec.
+ status = pjmedia_codec_mgr_alloc_codec( codec_mgr, codec_info, &codec );
+
+ \endcode
+ *
+ *
+ * @subsection opening_codec Initializing Codec
+ *
+ * Once codec is allocated, application needs to initialize the codec
+ * by calling <b><tt>open</tt></b> member of the codec. This function
+ * takes #pjmedia_codec_param as the argument, which contains the
+ * settings for the codec.
+ *
+ * Application shoud use #pjmedia_codec_mgr_get_default_param() function
+ * to initiaize #pjmedia_codec_param. The <tt>setting</tt> part of
+ * #pjmedia_codec_param then can be tuned to suit the application's
+ * requirements.
+ *
+ * The following snippet shows an example to initialize codec:
+ *
+ \code
+ pjmedia_codec_param param;
+
+ // Retrieve default codec param for the specified codec.
+ pjmedia_codec_mgr_get_default_param(codec_mgr, codec_info
+ &param);
+
+ // Application may change the "settings" part of codec param,
+ // for example, to disable VAD
+ param.setting.vad = 0;
+
+ // Open the codec using the specified settings.
+ codec->op->open( codec, &param );
+
+ \endcode
+ *
+ *
+ * @subsection enc_dec_codec Encoding and Decoding Media Frames
+ *
+ * Application encodes and decodes media frames by calling
+ * <tt>encode</tt> and <tt>decode</tt> member of the codec's "virtual"
+ * function table (#pjmedia_codec_op).
+ *
+ * @subsection plc_codec Concealing Lost Frames
+ *
+ * All codecs has Packet Lost Concealment (PLC) feature, and application
+ * can activate the PLC to conceal lost frames by calling <tt>recover</tt>
+ * member of the codec's "virtual" function table (#pjmedia_codec_op).
+ *
+ * If the codec's algorithm supports PLC, the <tt>recover</tt> function
+ * will use the codec's PLC. Otherwise for codecs that don't have
+ * intrinsic PLC, PJMEDIA will suply the PLC implementation from the
+ * @ref PJMED_PLC implementation.
+ *
+ * @subsection close_codec Closing and Releasing the Codec
+ *
+ * The codec must be closed by calling <tt>close</tt> member of the codec's
+ * operation. Then it must be released by calling
+ * #pjmedia_codec_mgr_dealloc_codec().
