They have been tested on Sun +SPARCstations and passed 82 out of 84 test vectors published by CCITT +(Dec. 20, 1988) for G.721 and G.723. [The two remaining test vectors, +which the G.721 decoder implementation for u-law samples did not pass, +may be in error because they are identical to two other vectors for G.723_40.] + +This source code is released by Sun Microsystems, Inc. to the public domain. +Please give your acknowledgement in product literature if this code is used +in your product implementation. + +Sun Microsystems supports some CCITT audio formats in Solaris 2.0 system +software.
