SIG_COMPETINGTALKERS - Load one of several test signals

Program code:

function [s,fs]=sig_competingtalkers(varargin)
%SIG_COMPETINGTALKERS  Load one of several test signals
%   Usage:  s=sig_competingtalkers(signame);
%           [s,fs]=sig_competingtalkers(signame);
%
%   SIG_COMPETINGTALKERS(signame) loads one of several test signals consisting
%   of competing talkers. All the talkers are taken from the TIMIT speech
%   corpus https://doi.org/10.35111/17gk-bn40>`
%   and filtered by HRTFs recorded in the Oldenburg lab with a 
%   Bruel and Kjaer Type 4128C head and torso simulator (Kayser et al., 2009).
%   An exception is 'one_speaker_reverb', see description below.
%
%   The signals have 2 channels and are provided with a sampling rate of
%   16 kHz.
%
%   [sig,fs]=SIG_COMPETINGTALKERS(signame) additionally returns the sampling
%   frequency fs.
%
%   The parameter signame can be:
%
%     'one_of_three'    Talker spatialized at the azimuth angle of 30 degrees. 
%
%     'two_of_three'    Talker spatialized at the azimuth angle of 0 degrees. 
%
%     'three_of_three'  Talker spatialized at the azimuth angle of -30 degrees. 
%
%     'one_speaker_reverb' Talker spatialized at horizontal position of 45 degrees 
%                          by applying a binaural set of room impulse responses (BRIR)
%                          of an office room from a database recorded with hearing-aid 
%                          microphones behind the ear.
%
%     'two_speakers'    Two simultanous talkers spatialized at the azimuth angles
%                       of -30 and 30 degrees.
%
%     'five_speakers'   Five simultanous talkers spatialized at the azimuth angles
%                       of -80, -30, 0, 30, and 80 degrees. 
%
%     'bnoise'          Speech-shaped binaural noise.
%
%   Examples:
%   ---------
%
%   The following plot shows an estimate of the power spectral density of
%   the first channels of the speech shaped noise:
%
%      s=sig_competingtalkers('bnoise');
%      pwelch(s(:,1),hamming(150));
