Description
Summary of the bug: Codec2 is a voice compression codec aiming towards very low bandwiths (below 5000 bits per second). Profiles exist for 3200, 2400, 1400 and 1200 bps.
I would suggest adding Codec2 to the list of supported ffmpeg audio compression and decompression codecs.
Codec2 is LGPL licensed and was designed to avoid patent issues.

If you want to get access to some Codec 2 sample files I've posted the first 12 chapters of Sherlock Homes Audio book in Codec 2 format (.c2) here: https://lowbitnet.wordpress.com/2016/02/09/ultra-low-bit-audio-books/ - enjoy.

How it this .c2 format related to www.codec2.org which supports multiple profiles?

Hmm, I'm not sure - I used an old windows compiled codec2 encoder binary provided here (https://github.com/mnasyrov/codec24net) which outputs files with the .c2 extension - at 2400bps I'm guessing (I talk about the process to do this here: https://lowbitnet.wordpress.com/2016/01/28/how-to-play-and-encode-codec2-audio-in-windows/).
I assume the different codec2 profiles were just different bitrates, similar to mp3 having different bitrates..

Unfortunately it is not, your files have nothing to do with original codec2.

Hmm, maybe you can help me out and show me where I've gone astray - as stated I've used the compiled windows binaries from here: https://github.com/mnasyrov/codec24net. It states on that page that "Codec24Net is a port of Codec2 codec to .NET framework. Codec2 is an open source low bit rate speech codec, that's developed by David Rowe."
David Rowe is the creator of Codec2 and is linked from the original page here: http://codec2.org/
So what am I missing?

Fixed in f958f431eced497f42220d8f9890506215742512.
Are there actual samples anywhere?
