+Description
+===========
+ODR-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 primary component. An audio
+primary component define a program service while a data primary component
+define a data service. Service can contain additional components which are
+called secondary components. Maximum total number of components is 12 for
+program services and 11 for data services. A service component is a link to one
+subchannel (or Fast Information Data Channel). A subchannel is the physical
+space used within the common interleaved frame.
