That's just how you represent a 2D array in C: the codebook has
shape_cb_size entries and subvect_size samples per entry.

Hard to explain simply. It's a fundamental thing in CELP.

That's for steganography? I'd say you just look at the nbest list and
chose the 2nd, 3rd, ... best entry instead of the first.
