Hi,

Is it possible to make  "ROHC_WLSB_WIDTH_MAX 256U" in the next release so
that a wide range of  width values can be used in rohc_comp_set_wlsb_window_
width() method?

Is it possible to make  "rohc_lsb_shift_t" values parametric in next
release ? I mean to make lsb shift values parametric so that users can set
any shift value from a related parameter?

Final one is; is it possible to change lsb_width and shift values
dynamically while related compressor/decompressors are in progress?

Best Regards...
