used because of the authors' familiarity with the source code, but it does
not prevent inclusion of code from other codecs in the future.

<t>The implementation of SILK-based LP layer is as described in the
<xref target="SILK">SILK Internet-Draft</xref> with the main exception that
SILK was modified to
use the same range coder as CELT. The implementation of the CELT-based MDCT
layer is available from the CELT website and is a more recent version (0.8.0)
of the (now expired) <xref target="CELT">CELT Internet-Draft</xref>.
The main changes
include better support for 20 ms frames as well as the ability to encode
only the higher bands using a range coder partially filled by the SILK layer.</t>

The source code is currently available in a
<eref target='git://git.xiph.org/users/jm/ietfcodec.git'>Git repository</eref>
which references two other
repositories (for SILK and CELT). Although the build system is very primitive
repositories (for SILK and CELT). Some snapshots will be provided for
convenience at <eref target='http://people.xiph.org/~jm/ietfcodec/'/>.
Although the build system is very primitive
(and inconsistent), some instructions are provided in the toplevel README file.
This is very early development so both the quality and feature set should
greatly improve over time. In the current version, only 48 kHz audio with 20 ms
