function m = melfb(p, n, fs)
% MELFB         Determine matrix for a mel-spaced filterbank
%
% Inputs:       p   number of filters in filterbank
%               n   length of fft
%               fs  sample rate in Hz
%
% Outputs:      x   a (sparse) matrix containing the filterbank amplitudes
%                   size(x) = [p, 1+floor(n/2)]
%
% Usage:        For example, to compute the mel-scale spectrum of a
%               colum-vector signal s, with length n and sample rate fs:
%
%               f = fft(s);
%               m = melfb(p, n, fs);
%               n2 = 1 + floor(n/2);
%               z = m * abs(f(1:n2)).^2;
%
%               z would contain p samples of the desired mel-scale spectrum
%
%               To plot filterbanks e.g.:
%
%               plot(linspace(0, (12500/2), 129), melfb(20, 256, 12500)'),
%               title('Mel-spaced filterbank'), xlabel('Frequency (Hz)');
