Description

🚀 Feature

It would be great to have an ability to create non-mel and not linear filterbanking.

Motivation

Even though mel-scale ceptstral coefficients are (probably) the most popular, there exists many other ways to filterbank the frequencies of spectra - CQCC, Opus filterbanks, BFCC, etc. I was thinking that it would be nice if the Spectrogram transform would accept a filterbank argument and filter the spectrogram accordingly.

Pitch

Extension of Spectrogram API to accept filter_bank argument (with a fallback to current implementation). Maybe it could be a tensor of shape (num_banks, filter) where filter would consist of (min_freq, max_freq) with a triangular filterbank for the start?

Additional context

Somewhat relates to #942

Research direction

Start by reading the Spectrogram transform entry point and the context in issue #942. Define how a filter_bank argument should represent custom banks, preserve the current implementation as the fallback, and verify that the transform applies the supplied banks, including the proposed triangular form.
