* sometimes desirable to use multiple frames-per-packet to reduce the
* amount of container overhead. This can be done by setting the
* 'frames_per_packet' option to a value 1 to 8.
+ *
+ *
+ * Optional features
+ * Speex encoder supports several optional features, which can be useful
+ * for some conditions.
+ *
+ * Voice Activity Detection
+ * When enabled, voice activity detection detects whether the audio
+ * being encoded is speech or silence/background noise. VAD is always
+ * implicitly activated when encoding in VBR, so the option is only useful
+ * in non-VBR operation. In this case, Speex detects non-speech periods and
+ * encodes them with just enough bits to reproduce the background noise.
+ *
+ * Discontinuous Transmission (DTX)
+ * DTX is an addition to VAD/VBR operation, that allows to stop transmitting
+ * completely when the background noise is stationary.
+ * In file-based operation only 5 bits are used for such frames.
