+ * @file
+ * API example for adts-aac encoding raw audio files. 
+ * This example reads a raw audio input file, converts it to float-planar format, performs aac encoding and puts the encoded frames into an ADTS container. The encoded stream is written to 
+ * a file named "out.aac"
+ * The raw input audio file can be created with: ffmpeg -i some_audio_file -f f32le -acodec pcm_f32le -ac 2 -ar 16000 raw_audio_file.raw
+ * 
+ * @example encode_raw_audio_file_to_aac.c
