关于a law and u law 定义如下：A律编码是ITU-T(国际电信标准局)定义的关于脉冲编码的一种压缩/解压缩算法。世界上大部分国家采用A律压缩算法(包括中国)。美国采用u 律算法进行脉冲编码。其英文定义大致如下：
A-law and u-law are companding schemes used in telephone network to
get more dynamics to the 8 bit samples that is available with linear
coding. Typically 12..14 bit samples (linear scale) sampled at 8 kHz
sample are companded to 8 bit (logarithmic scale) for transmission
over 64 kbit/s data channel. In the receiving end the data is then
converter back to linear scale (12..14 bit) and played back.
converted back
u-law definition
u-LAW (pronounced mu-LAW) is
sgn(m) ( |m |) |m |
y= ------- ln( 1+ u|--|) |--| =< 1
ln(1+u) ( |mp|) |mp|
Another definition for mu-law I have seen
ln(1+255 |x|)
output = sgn(x) ---------------------
ln(1+255)
x = normalized input ( between -1 and 1)
255 = compression parameter
sgn(x) = sign (+/-) of x
a-law definition
A-LAW is
| A (m ) |m | 1
| ------- (--) |--| =< -
| 1+ln A (mp) |mp| A
y=|
| sgn(m) ( |m |) 1 |m |
| ------ ( 1+ ln A|--|) - =< |--| =< 1
| 1+ln A ( |mp|) A |mp|
Values of u=100 and 255, A=87.6, mp is the Peak message value, m is
the current quantised message value. (The formulae get simpler if you
substitute x for m/mp and sgn(x) for sgn(m); then -1 <= x <= 1.)
Converting from u-LAW to A-LAW is in a sense "lossy" since there are
quantizing errors introduced in the conversion.
"..the u-LAW used in North America and Japan, and the A-LAW used in
Europe and the rest of the world and international routes.."

下面介绍下g.711的c代码的核心
#ifndef __G711_H_#define __G711_H_#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C" {
#endif /* __cplusplus */unsigned char linear2ulaw(short pcm_val);short ulaw2linear(unsigned char u_val);unsigned char linear2alaw(short pcm_val);short alaw2linear(unsigned char a_val);unsigned char alaw2ulaw(unsigned char a_val);unsigned char ulaw2alaw(unsigned char u_val);#ifdef __cplusplus
}#endif /* __cplusplus */#endif /* __G711_H_ */一般工程中Ａ律用的比较多，所以调用
unsigned char linear2alaw(short pcm_val);short alaw2linear(unsigned char a_val);注意在音频处理中用的数据类型为 unsigned char 和 short ，其中ITU-T的官方代码是没有问题的，openh323中G.711的编解码器的数据类型都使用的int 和 unsigned 所以造成数据溢出，不能正常的工作，本人在第一次做的时候遇到了这个问题，替换一下就可解决即把相应的int 改为 short 和 unsigned char
