+The Bluetooth low-complexity, subband codec (SBC) is described in the
+specification of the Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP) in
+appendix B (page 50). SBC is an audio coding system specially designed for
+Bluetooth audio and video applications to obtain high quality audio at medium
+bitrates, and having a low computational complexity. It uses 4 or 8 subbands,
+an adaptive bit allocation algorithm and simple adaptive block PCM quantizers.
+
+The SBC audio coding system is based on an earlier system:
