I guess for those it is more a question of being able to switch off the VAD. I think we need to focus on VAD not CN. Note all the use cases erased are about VAD not CN. Note the text in section 5.1 is only about VAD and says VoiceActivityDetection This is a enum type constraint that can take the values "true" and "false". The default is a non mandatory "true". Many codecs and system are capable of detecting "silence" and changing there behavior in this case by doing things such as not transmitting any media. In many cases, such as when dealing with sounds other than spoken voice or emergency calling, it is desirable to be able to turn off this behavior. This constraints allows the application to provide information about if it wishes this type of processing enable or disabled.
