+ * \struct IPASessionConfiguration
+ * \brief Session configuration for the IPA module
+ *
+ * The session configuration contains all IPA configuration parameters that

+ * It is typically set during the configure() operation of the IPA module, but
+ * may also be updated in the start() operation.

+ * \struct IPAFrameContext
+ * \brief Per-frame context for algorithms
+ *
+ * The frame context stores data specific to a single frame processed by the
+ * IPA. Each frame processed by the IPA has a context associated with it,
+ * accessible through the IPAContext structure.
+ *
+ * \todo Detail how to access contexts for a particular frame
+ *
+ * Each of the fields in the frame context belongs to either a specific
+ * algorithm, or to the top-level IPA module. A field may be read by any
+ * algorithm, but should only be written by its owner.

+ * are run. This needs to be turned into real per-frame data storage.
