Generates test sample(audio)

Generates test samples by randomly combining a known set of test data.

You are now following this Submission

This is utility function used to generate test samples by randomly combining audio samples (encoded in wave format) located at a specified directory*

[out save_dir] = generateTestData(data_loc,n,len,[save,r])

DESC:
Generates test sample(s) 'out' by randomly choosing test data located at 'data_loc'

eg., for
data_loc = [ 1,2,3,4,5 ]
generateTestData(data_loc,1,4) might return out = [ 5,7,1,7 ]

INPUT:
data_loc := /path/to/data from which audio sample(s) has to be generated.
n := #test samples to generate
len := #elements in each test sample.
save := boolean,
true - save the generated sample(s) to disk.
By default, saved at data_loc/samples/<out(n).name>.wav
false - do not save (default)
r := 0 - no repetetion [1]
k - #repetetions in each test sample (not implemented)

OUTPUT:
out(n) := generated test sample(s)

.srate := sampling rate of the generated sample [2]
.data := the data
.name := name of the generated sample

NOTE:
[1] Repetetions is allowed by default; use r=0 to turn off repetetion.
[2] In-consistencies in sampling rate amoungst the test data would yield
unpredictable sampling rate (although with-in test data) of generated sample.

* This program uses the 'combinator' written by Matt Fig to randomly combine the test data.

** This is my first program written in Matlab. I wrote this utility function as a part of my lab work in Audio. Suggestions and inputs are always welcome.
