== Problems with current implementation and possible solutions ==
 
=== Overlapped FFT not critically sampled ===
 
In the current implementation, we encode 4/3 times more samples than necessary because we use 256-point FFTs with 64 samples overlap.
 
Ideas:
* Use an MDCT instead of the FFT
* Do extrapolation on the input and use a wider FFT. Then optimise the search only for the "real" samples
 
=== Non-harmonic signals (i.e. music) ===
 
CEFT only works on speech because most of its coding efficiency is provided by the pitch predictor.
 
Ideas:
* Sinusoidal prediction
* Use two (or more) pitch periods and choose one for each bin/band/whatever
* Use two (or more) pitch periods at the same time and use energy conservation to keep everything stable.
 
=== Sparse spectrum ===
 
CEFT tends to have musical noise, especially at high frequency when there are very few bits/bin.
 
Ideas:
* Use a "rotation matrix"
* Prediction from lower frequencies
