// This sub-API supports the following functionalities:
//
//  - Support of non-default codecs (e.g. iLBC, iSAC, etc.).
//  - Voice Activity Detection (VAD) on a per channel basis.
//  - Possibility to specify how to map received payload types to codecs.
//
// Usage example, omitting error checking:
//
//  using namespace webrtc;
//  VoiceEngine* voe = VoiceEngine::Create();
//  VoEBase* base = VoEBase::GetInterface(voe);
//  VoECodec* codec = VoECodec::GetInterface(voe);
//  base->Init();
//  int num_of_codecs = codec->NumOfCodecs()
//  ...
//  base->Terminate();
//  base->Release();
//  codec->Release();
//  VoiceEngine::Delete(voe);
