/*!
 * \brief This block performs CVSD audio decoding.  Its design and implementation
 * is modeled after the CVSD encoder/decoder specifications defined in the
 * Bluetooth standard.
 *
 * \ingroup audio_blk
 *
 * 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 decoder effectively provides 1-to-8 decompression.  More
 * specifically, for each incoming input bit, the decoder outputs one
 * audio sample.  If the input is a "1" bit, the internal reference is
 * increased appropriately and then outputted as the next estimated audio
 * sample.  If the input is a "0" bit, the internal reference is
 * decreased appropriately and then likewise outputted as the next estimated
 * audio sample.  Grouping 8 input bits together, the encoder essentially
 * produces 8 output audio samples for everyone one input byte.
 *
 * This decoder requires that output audio samples are 2-byte short signed
 * integers.  The result bandwidth conversion, therefore, is 1 byte of
 * encoded audio data to 16 output bytes of raw audio data.
 *
 * The CVSD decoder module must be post-fixed by a down-converter to
 * under-sample the audio data after decoding.  The Bluetooth standard
 * specifically calls for a 8-to-1 decimating down-converter.  This is
 * required so that so that output sampling rate equals the original input
 * sampling rate present before the encoder.  In all cases, the output
 * down-converter rate must be the inverse of the input up-converter rate
 * before the CVSD encoder.
