         The input `data` is the channels concatenation of LC3 frames in a
         byte-like object. Interleaved PCM samples are returned according to
         the `bit_depth` indication.
+        Setting `data` to `None` enables PLC (Packet Loss Concealment)
+        reconstruction for the block of LC3 frames.
         When no `bit_depth` is defined, it's a vector of floating point values
         from -1 to 1, coding the sample levels. When `bit_depth` is defined,
         it returns a byte array, each sample coded on `bit_depth` bits.
