Kevin P. Fleming 75f1eaf2a1 Ensure that user-provided CFLAGS and LDFLAGS are honored.
This commit changes the build system so that user-provided flags (in ASTCFLAGS
and ASTLDFLAGS) are supplied to the compiler/linker *after* all flags provided
by the build system itself, so that the user can effectively override the
build system's flags if desired. In addition, ASTCFLAGS and ASTLDFLAGS can now
be provided *either* in the environment before running 'make', or as variable
assignments on the 'make' command line. As a result, the use of COPTS and LDOPTS
is no longer necessary, so they are no longer documented, but are still supported
so as not to break existing build systems that supply them when building Asterisk.

GSM 06.10 13 kbit/s RPE/LTP speech compression available
--------------------------------------------------------

The Communications and Operating Systems Research Group (KBS) at the
Technische Universitaet Berlin is currently working on a set of
UNIX-based tools for computer-mediated telecooperation that will be
made freely available.

As part of this effort we are publishing an implementation of the
European GSM 06.10 provisional standard for full-rate speech
transcoding, prI-ETS 300 036, which uses RPE/LTP (residual pulse
excitation/long term prediction) coding at 13 kbit/s.

GSM 06.10 compresses frames of 160 13-bit samples (8 kHz sampling
rate, i.e. a frame rate of 50 Hz) into 260 bits; for compatibility
with typical UNIX applications, our implementation turns frames of 160
16-bit linear samples into 33-byte frames (1650 Bytes/s).
The quality of the algorithm is good enough for reliable speaker
recognition; even music often survives transcoding in recognizable 
form (given the bandwidth limitations of 8 kHz sampling rate).

The interfaces offered are a front end modelled after compress(1), and
a library API.  Compression and decompression run faster than realtime
on most SPARCstations.  The implementation has been verified against the
ETSI standard test patterns.
