/**
 * \class PluginSummarisingAdapter PluginSummarisingAdapter.h <vamp-hostsdk/PluginSummarisingAdapter.h>
 *
 * PluginSummarisingAdapter is a Vamp plugin adapter that provides
 * summarisation methods such as mean and median averages of output
 * features, for use in any context where an available plugin produces
 * individual values but the result that is actually needed is some
 * sort of aggregate.
 *
 * To make use of PluginSummarisingAdapter, the host should configure,
 * initialise and run the plugin through the adapter interface just as
 * normal.  Then, after the process and getRemainingFeatures methods
 * have been properly called and processing is complete, the host may
 * call getSummaryForOutput or getSummaryForAllOutputs to obtain
 * summarised features: averages, maximum values, etc, depending on
 * the SummaryType passed to the function.
 *
 * By default PluginSummarisingAdapter calculates a single summary of
 * each output's feature across the whole duration of processed audio.
 * A host needing summaries of sub-segments of the whole audio may
 * call setSummarySegmentBoundaries before retrieving the summaries,
 * providing a list of times such that one summary will be provided
 * for each segment between two consecutive times.
 *
 * PluginSummarisingAdapter is straightforward rather than fast.  It
 * calculates all of the summary types for all outputs always, and
 * then returns only the ones that are requested.  It is designed on
 * the basis that, for most features, summarising and storing
 * summarised results is far cheaper than calculating the results in
 * the first place.  If this is not true for your particular feature,
 * PluginSummarisingAdapter may not be the best approach for you.
 *
 * \note This class was introduced in version 2.0 of the Vamp plugin SDK.
