1 We (Themyscira Wireless) define our own binary file format for testing of GSM
2 06.10 (FR) and EFR codec functions; this format of ours is an extension of
3 classic .gsm format from libgsm/toast. The original libgsm file format is a
4 directly abutted sequence of 33-byte libgsm frames, equivalent to RTP frames
5 for GSM FR, with the upper nibble of the first byte in each frame equal to 0xD,
6 serving as a signature. We simply extend this idea: our version is still a
7 directly abutted sequence of binary records, but each record is now one of 3
8 possibilities:
9
10 - a 33-byte GSM FR frame in libgsm/RTP format, 0xD signature
11 - a 31-byte GSM EFR frame in RTP format (ETSI TS 101 318), 0xC signature
12 - a 2-byte Themyscira-extension BFI marker, 0xBF signature
13
14 File reading functions begin by reading only one byte; this byte, once decoded,
15 tells us how many more bytes need to be read, and frame synchronization is thus
16 maintained.
17
18 FR and EFR frames are not expected to be mixed in the same stream recording;
19 our low-level binary file reading function will grok such mixing just fine, but
20 each higher-level test program is expected to be written for only one codec,
21 either FR or EFR.
