Question about "ECU implementations ... published by ETSI": what exactly are they? To the best of my knowledge (I could be wrong, I am a late joiner to this party), ETSI/3GPP never published any ECU implementations - instead what they did publish are reference encoder and decoder implementations for HR1, EFR and AMR codecs. In each of those reference codec implementations, the error concealment function is deeply intertied with the guts of the decoder (the thing that puts out a block of 160 linear PCM samples, *not* a corrected codec frame) and does not exist as a separable piece - thus none of those reference codec implementations can be meaningfully called an ECU implementation, and there is no code in there that could be hooked up to libosmocodec ECU framework in a technically feasible way, no matter what license.

So what I am missing? Are there some other code publications from ETSI or 3GPP which I am not aware of, ones that do implement a separate or at least separable ECU, as opposed to a complete decoder that takes potentially-errored codec frames as input and emits linear PCM as output? If any such "true" ECU implementations do exist, I would love to be pointed in the direction of one!
