+ * \brief This block performs CVSD audio encoding. Its design and
+ * implementation is modeled after the CVSD encoder/decoder
+ * specifications defined in the Bluetooth standard.
+ * \ingroup audio_blk
+ *
+ * \details
+ * CVSD is a method for encoding speech that seeks to reduce the
+ * bandwidth required for digital voice transmission. CVSD takes
+ * advantage of strong correlation between samples, quantizing the
+ * difference in amplitude between two consecutive samples. This
+ * difference requires fewer quantization levels as compared to
+ * other methods that quantize the actual amplitude level,
+ * reducing the bandwidth. CVSD employs a two level quantizer
+ * (one bit) and an adaptive algorithm that allows for continuous
+ * step size adjustment.
+ *
+ * The coder can represent low amplitude signals with accuracy
+ * without sacrificing performance on large amplitude signals, a
+ * trade off that occurs in some non-adaptive modulations.
+ *
+ * The CVSD encoder effectively provides 8-to-1 compression. More
+ * specifically, each incoming audio sample is compared to an
+ * internal reference value. If the input is greater or equal to
+ * the reference, the encoder outputs a "1" bit. If the input is
+ * less than the reference, the encoder outputs a "0" bit. The
+ * reference value is then updated accordingly based on the
+ * frequency of outputted "1" or "0" bits. By grouping 8 outputs
+ * bits together, the encoder essentially produce one output byte
+ * for every 8 input audio samples.
+ *
+ * This encoder requires that input audio samples are 2-byte short
+ * signed integers. The result bandwidth conversion, therefore,
+ * is 16 input bytes of raw audio data to 1 output byte of encoded
+ * audio data.
+ *
+ * The CVSD encoder module must be prefixed by an up-converter to
+ * over-sample the audio data prior to encoding. The Bluetooth
+ * standard specifically calls for a 1-to-8 interpolating
+ * up-converter. While this reduces the overall compression of
+ * the codec, this is required so that the encoder can accurately
+ * compute the slope between adjacent audio samples and correctly
+ * update its internal reference value.
