1. Introduction
1.1. Loss Concealment and Concealed Seconds Metrics Blocks
At any instant, the audio output at a receiver may be classified as
either 'normal' or 'concealed'. 'Normal' refers to playout of audio
payload received from the remote end and also includes locally
generated signals such as announcements, tones, and comfort noise.
'Concealed' refers to playout of locally generated signals used to
mask the impact of network impairments or to reduce the audibility of
