 * <b> Phonetic to acoustic mapping module </b>\n
 *
 * This module is responsible for mapping the phonetic domain features generated from text analysis
 * into parametric representations suitable for signal generation.  As such it is the interface
 * between text analysis and signal generation
 *
 * Most the processing of PAM is logically splittable as follows
 * - building a suitable symbolic feature vector set for the sentence
 * - Feeding Decision Trees with the symbolic seqence vector set
 * - Colecting the parametric output of the Decision trees into suitable items to be sent to following PU's
 *
 * To perform the decision tree feeding and output collection the PU uses an internal buffer. This
 * buffer is used several times with different meanings.
 * - While building the symbolic feature vector set for the sentence this data structure stores syllable relevant data.
 *   The corresponding phonetic data is stored outside as a single string of phonetic id's for all the sentence.
 * - While feeding the decision trees the data structure is used to represent data for phonemes of the syllable
 * - Addiotional data strucures are mantained to temporarily store items not pertaining to the PAM processing, for later resynchronization
 *
 * A quite detailed description of PAM processing is in the Know How section of the repository.
