Re: abt VAD algorithm 1 of AMR codec

Started by rock...@yahoo.com October 19, 2006
hi sameer,
do you still have the c-code for the vad you mentioned below. i'm working on it now and it would be quite helpful if you could help me out with it.
looking forward to it. if anyother member has it.... plz forward it to me ..

thank you,

rakesh
