      <description>
         <para>The TALK_DETECT function enables events on the channel
         it is applied to. These events can be emited over AMI, ARI, and
         potentially other Asterisk modules that listen for the internal
         notification.</para>
         <para>The function has two parameters that can optionally be passed
         when <literal>set</literal> on a channel: <replaceable>dsp_talking_threshold</replaceable>
         and <replaceable>dsp_silence_threshold</replaceable>.</para>
         <para><replaceable>dsp_talking_threshold</replaceable> is the time in milliseconds of sound
         above what the dsp has established as base line silence for a user
         before a user is considered to be talking. By default, the value of
         <replaceable>silencethreshold</replaceable> from <filename>dsp.conf</filename>
         is used. If this value is set too tight events may be
         falsely triggered by variants in room noise.</para>
         <para>Valid values are 1 through 2^31.</para>
         <para><replaceable>dsp_silence_threshold</replaceable> is the time in milliseconds of sound
         falling within what the dsp has established as baseline silence before
         a user is considered be silent. If this value is set too low events
         indicating the user has stopped talking may get falsely sent out when
         the user briefly pauses during mid sentence.</para>
         <para>The best way to approach this option is to set it slightly above
         the maximum amount of ms of silence a user may generate during
         natural speech.</para>
         <para>By default this value is 2500ms. Valid values are 1
         through 2^31.</para>
         <para>Example:</para>
         <para>same => n,Set(TALK_DETECT(set)=)     ; Enable talk detection</para>
         <para>same => n,Set(TALK_DETECT(set)=1200) ; Update existing talk detection's silence threshold to 1200 ms</para>
         <para>same => n,Set(TALK_DETECT(remove)=)  ; Remove talk detection</para>
         <para>same => n,Set(TALK_DETECT(set)=,128) ; Enable and set talk threshold to 128</para>
         <para>This function will set the following variables:</para>
         <note>
            <para>The TALK_DETECT function uses an audiohook to inspect the
            voice media frames on a channel. Other functions, such as JITTERBUFFER,
            DENOISE, and AGC use a similar mechanism. Audiohooks are processed
            in the order in which they are placed on the channel. As such,
            it typically makes sense to place functions that modify the voice
            media data prior to placing the TALK_DETECT function, as this will
            yield better results.</para>
            <para>Example:</para>
            <para>same => n,Set(DENOISE(rx)=on)    ; Denoise received audio</para>
            <para>same => n,Set(TALK_DETECT(set)=) ; Perform talk detection on the denoised received audio</para>
