  This is accomplished using stride_tricks, so the original data is not
  copied.  However, there is no zero-padding, so any incomplete frames at the
  end are not included.

  The classic Hann window is defined as a raised cosine that starts and

  point for an odd-length window.  Matlab calls this a "symmetric" window
  and np.hanning() returns it.  However, for Fourier analysis, this
  actually represents just over one cycle of a period N-1 cosine, and
  thus is not compactly expressed on a length-N Fourier basis.  Instead,
  it's better to use a raised cosine that ends just before the final
  zero value - i.e. a complete cycle of a period-N cosine.  Matlab
  calls this a "periodic" window. This routine calculates it.

  Returns a np.array matrix A that can be used to post-multiply a matrix S of
  spectrogram values (STFT magnitudes) arranged as frames x bins to generate a
  "mel spectrogram" M of frames x num_mel_bins.  M = S A.

  The classic HTK algorithm exploits the complementarity of adjacent mel bands
  to multiply each FFT bin by only one mel weight, then add it, with positive
  and negative signs, to the two adjacent mel bands to which that bin
  contributes.  Here, by expressing this operation as a matrix multiply, we go
  from num_fft multiplies per frame (plus around 2*num_fft adds) to around
  num_fft^2 multiplies and adds.  However, because these are all presumably
  accomplished in a single call to np.dot(), it's not clear which approach is
  faster in Python.  The matrix multiplication has the attraction of being more
  general and flexible, and much easier to read.

  Args:
    num_mel_bins: How many bands in the resulting mel spectrum.  This is
      the number of columns in the output matrix.
    num_spectrogram_bins: How many bins there are in the source spectrogram
      data, which is understood to be fft_size/2 + 1, i.e. the spectrogram
      only contains the nonredundant FFT bins.
    audio_sample_rate: Samples per second of the audio at the input to the
      spectrogram. We need this to figure out the actual frequencies for
      each spectrogram bin, which dictates how they are mapped into mel.
    lower_edge_hertz: Lower bound on the frequencies to be included in the mel
      spectrum.  This corresponds to the lower edge of the lowest triangular
      band.
    upper_edge_hertz: The desired top edge of the highest frequency band.
