/*! \page t38_non_ecm_buffer_page T.38 rate adapting non-ECM image data buffer
\section t38_non_ecm_buffer_page_sec_1 What does it do?

The T.38 rate adapting non-ECM image data buffer is used to buffer TCF and non-ECM
FAX image data being gatewayed from a T.38 link to an analogue FAX modem link.

As well as rate adapting, the buffer has the ability to impose a minimum on the number
of bits per row of image data. This allows any row padding zeros to be stripped from
the data stream, to minimise the data sent as T.38 packets, and be reinserted before
the data is sent to its final destination. Not all T.38 implementations support this
feature, so it's use must be negotiated.

\section t38_non_ecm_buffer_page_sec_2 How does it work?

When inserting padding bits, whether to ensure a minimum row time or for flow control,
it is important the right value is inserted at the right point in the data sequence.
If we are in the optional initial period of all ones, we can insert a byte of extra
ones at any time. Once we pass that initial stage, TCF and image data need separate
handling.

TCF data is all zeros. Once the period of all zeros has begun it is OK to insert
additional bytes of zeros at any point.

Image data consists of rows, separated by EOL (end of line) markers. Inserting
zeros at arbitrary times would corrupt the image. However, it is OK to insert a
considerable number of extra zeros just before an EOL. Therefore we track where the
EOL markers occur as we fill the buffer. As we empty the buffer stop outputting real
data, and start outputting bytes of zero, if we reach this last EOL marker location.
The EOL marker is 11 zeros following by 1 (1D mode) or 2 (2D mode) ones. Therefore, it
always spills across 2 bytes in the buffer, and there is always a point where we can
insert our extra zeros between bytes.

Padding between the group of successive EOL markers which for the RTC (return to control)
marker that ends an image causes some FAX machines not to recognise them as an RTC condition.
Therefore, our padding applies special protection so padding never occurs between two
successive EOL markers, with no pixel data between them.
