/**
 * Noise Suppressor (NS).
 * Noise suppression (NS) is an audio pre-processing which removes background noise from the
 * captured signal. The component of the signal considered as noise can be either stationary
 * (car/airplane engine, AC system) or non-stationary (other peoples conversations, car horn) for
 * more advanced implementations.
 * 
NS is mostly used by voice communication applications (voice chat, video conferencing,
 * SIP calls).
 * 
An application creates a NoiseSuppressor object to instantiate and control an NS
 * engine in the audio framework.
 * 
To attach the NoiseSuppressor to a particular {@link android.media.AudioRecord},
 * specify the audio session ID of this AudioRecord when creating the NoiseSuppressor.
 * The audio session is retrieved by calling
 * {@link android.media.AudioRecord#getAudioSessionId()} on the AudioRecord instance.
 * 
On some devices, NS can be inserted by default in the capture path by the platform
 * according to the {@link android.media.MediaRecorder.AudioSource} used. The application should
 * call NoiseSuppressor.getEnable() after creating the NS to check the default NS activation
 * state on a particular AudioRecord session.
 * 
See {@link android.media.audiofx.AudioEffect} class for more details on
 * controlling audio effects.
