Conceal packet loss in PCM stream - c++

Question

I am looking to use 'Packet Loss Concealment' to conceal lost PCM frames in an audio stream. Unfortunately, I cannot find a library that is accessible without all the licensing restrictions and code bloat (...up for some suggestions though).
I have located some GPL code written by Steve Underwood for the Asterisk project which implements PLC. There are several limitations; although, as Steve suggests in his code, his algorithm can be applied to different streams with a bit of work. Currently, the code works with 8kHz 16-bit signed mono streams.
Variations of the code can be found through a simple search of Google Code Search.
My hope is that I can adapt the code to work with other streams. Initially, the goal is to adjust the algorithm for 8+ kHz, 16-bit signed, multichannel audio (all in a C++ environment). Eventually, I'm looking to make the code available under the GPL license in hopes that it could be of benefit to others...
Attached is the code below with my efforts. The code includes a main function that will "drop" a number of frames with a given probability. Unfortunately, the code does not quite work as expected. I'm receiving EXC_BAD_ACCESS when running in gdb, but I don't get a trace from gdb when using 'bt' command. Clearly, I'm trampimg on memory some where but not sure exactly where. When I comment out the amdf_pitch function, the code runs without crashing...
int main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
std::ifstream fin("C:\\cc32kHz.pcm");
if(!fin.is_open())
{
std::cout << "Failed to open input file" << std::endl;
return 1;
}
std::ofstream fout_repaired("C:\\cc32kHz_repaired.pcm");
if(!fout_repaired.is_open())
{
std::cout << "Failed to open output repaired file" << std::endl;
return 1;
}
std::ofstream fout_lossy("C:\\cc32kHz_lossy.pcm");
if(!fout_lossy.is_open())
{
std::cout << "Failed to open output repaired file" << std::endl;
return 1;
}
audio::PcmConcealer Concealer;
Concealer.Init(1, 16, 32000);
//Generate random numbers;
srand( time(NULL) );
int value = 0;
int probability = 5;
while(!fin.eof())
{
char arr[2];
fin.read(arr, 2);
//Generate's random number;
value = rand() % 100 + 1;
if(value <= probability)
{
char blank[2] = {0x00, 0x00};
fout_lossy.write(blank, 2);
//Fill in data;
Concealer.Fill((int16_t *)blank, 1);
fout_repaired.write(blank, 2);
}
else
{
//Write data to file;
fout_repaired.write(arr, 2);
fout_lossy.write(arr, 2);
Concealer.Receive((int16_t *)arr, 1);
}
}
fin.close();
fout_repaired.close();

return 0;

1. What does it do?
The packet loss concealment module provides a suitable synthetic fill-in signal,
to minimise the audible effect of lost packets in VoIP applications. It is not
tied to any particular codec, and could be used with almost any codec which does not
specify its own procedure for packet loss concealment.
Where a codec specific concealment procedure exists, the algorithm is usually built
around knowledge of the characteristics of the particular codec. It will, therefore,
generally give better results for that particular codec than this generic concealer will.
2. How does it work?
While good packets are being received, the plc_rx() routine keeps a record of the trailing
section of the known speech signal. If a packet is missed, plc_fillin() is called to produce
a synthetic replacement for the real speech signal. The average mean difference function
(AMDF) is applied to the last known good signal, to determine its effective pitch.
Based on this, the last pitch period of signal is saved. Essentially, this cycle of speech
will be repeated over and over until the real speech resumes. However, several refinements
are needed to obtain smooth pleasant sounding results.
- The two ends of the stored cycle of speech will not always fit together smoothly. This can
cause roughness, or even clicks, at the joins between cycles. To soften this, the
1/4 pitch period of real speech preceeding the cycle to be repeated is blended with the last
1/4 pitch period of the cycle to be repeated, using an overlap-add (OLA) technique (i.e.
in total, the last 5/4 pitch periods of real speech are used).
- The start of the synthetic speech will not always fit together smoothly with the tail of
real speech passed on before the erasure was identified. Ideally, we would like to modify
the last 1/4 pitch period of the real speech, to blend it into the synthetic speech. However,
it is too late for that. We could have delayed the real speech a little, but that would
require more buffer manipulation, and hurt the efficiency of the no-lost-packets case
(which we hope is the dominant case). Instead we use a degenerate form of OLA to modify
the start of the synthetic data. The last 1/4 pitch period of real speech is time reversed,
and OLA is used to blend it with the first 1/4 pitch period of synthetic speech. The result
seems quite acceptable.
- As we progress into the erasure, the chances of the synthetic signal being anything like
correct steadily fall. Therefore, the volume of the synthesized signal is made to decay
linearly, such that after 50ms of missing audio it is reduced to silence.
- When real speech resumes, an extra 1/4 pitch period of sythetic speech is blended with the
start of the real speech. If the erasure is small, this smoothes the transition. If the erasure
is long, and the synthetic signal has faded to zero, the blending softens the start up of the
real signal, avoiding a kind of "click" or "pop" effect that might occur with a sudden onset.
3. How do I use it?
Before audio is processed, call plc_init() to create an instance of the packet loss
concealer. For each received audio packet that is acceptable (i.e. not including those being
dropped for being too late) call plc_rx() to record the content of the packet. Note this may
modify the packet a little after a period of packet loss, to blend real synthetic data smoothly.
When a real packet is not available in time, call plc_fillin() to create a sythetic substitute.
That's it!

Answer 1

Fixed the problem. The problem lay within the amdf_pitch function. There were some minor bugs elsewhere too (which have been repaired). As a result, the code will now run the testbed inserting blank for a given probability.
Using Audacity I have studied the raw PCM streams that have been created via the testbed. When a blank set of frames is encountered, smoothing occurs from received to blank as expected; however, when we change from blank to valid/received data, we gets clicks because the smoothing doesn't appear to be working during this phase. Any suggestions?
I have attached the updated code:
int main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
std::ifstream fin("C:\\cc32kHz.pcm", std::ios::binary);
if(!fin.is_open())
{
std::cout << "Failed to open input file" << std::endl;
return 1;
}

int value = 0;

{

if(!bytes_read)
continue; //Probably reached EOF;
//Generate's random number;

if(value <= probability)
