/*! \brief
 * Descriptor of a translator. 
 *
 * Name, callbacks, and various options
 * related to run-time operation (size of buffers, auxiliary
 * descriptors, etc).
 *
 * A codec registers itself by filling the relevant fields
 * of a structure and passing it as an argument to
 * ast_register_translator(). The structure should not be
 * modified after a successful registration, and its address
 * must be used as an argument to ast_unregister_translator().
 *
 * As a minimum, a translator should supply name, srcfmt and dstfmt,
 * the required buf_size (in bytes) and buffer_samples (in samples),
 * and a few callbacks (framein, frameout, sample).
 * The outbuf is automatically prepended by AST_FRIENDLY_OFFSET
 * spare bytes so generic routines can place data in there.
 *
 * Note, the translator is not supposed to do any memory allocation
 * or deallocation, nor any locking, because all of this is done in
 * the generic code.
 *
 * Translators using generic plc (packet loss concealment) should
 * supply a non-zero plc_samples indicating the size (in samples)
 * of artificially generated frames and incoming data.
 * Generic plc is only available for dstfmt = SLINEAR

/*! \brief
 * Default structure for translators, with the basic fields and buffers,
 * all allocated as part of the same chunk of memory. The buffer is
 * preceded by \ref AST_FRIENDLY_OFFSET bytes in front of the user portion.
 * 'buf' points right after this space.
 *
 * *_framein() routines operate in two ways:
 * 1. some convert on the fly and place the data directly in outbuf;
 *    in this case 'samples' and 'datalen' contain the number of samples
 *    and number of bytes available in the buffer.
 *    In this case we can use a generic *_frameout() routine that simply
 *    takes whatever is there and places it into the output frame.
 * 2. others simply store the (unconverted) samples into a working
 *    buffer, and leave the conversion task to *_frameout().
 *    In this case, the intermediate buffer must be in the private
 *    descriptor, 'datalen' is left to 0, while 'samples' is still
 *    updated with the number of samples received.
