SlackPack: Slackware packages

Package details for GSM 1.0.14 for Intel x86-64 (2)

This package is for Slackware version, which reached end of life on 2024-01-03. This means that security patches will no longer be provided for it. If you are still using Slackware 14.1 we strongly recommend upgrading to a newer version (preferably as recent as possible).

Name: gsm (GSM)
Version: 1.0.14
Architecture: Intel x86-64
Build: 2
Format: Slackware 14.1

This package contains runtime shared library and user binaries of GSM, 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.
