DESCRIPTION

 CRC-DabMux  is  a  software  multiplexer  that generates an ETI stream from
 audio and data streams. Because of  its  software  based  architecture,
 many  typical DAB services can be generated and multiplexed on a single
 PC platform with live or pre-recorded sources.

 A DAB multiplex configuration is composed of one ensemble. An  ensemble
 is  the entity that receivers tune to and process. An ensemble contains
 several services. A service is  the  listener-selectable  output.  Each
 service  contains  one mandatory service component which is called pri-
 mary component. An audio primary component  define  a  program  service
 while  a data primary component define a data service. Service can con-
 tain additional components which are called secondary components. Maxi-
 mum  total  number  of components is 12 for program services and 11 for
 data services. A service component is a link to one subchannel (of Fast
 Information  Data  Channel).  A  subchannel  is the physical space used
 within the common interleaved frame.
