function [word_breaks] = get_word_breaks(sig,fs,threshold)
%GET_WORD_BREAKS Gets the position of the spaces in the speech signal.
%
% GET_WORD_BREAKS(sig,fs,threshold) Finds word breaks in the signal sig.
% It takes the sampling frequency of the signal and a threshold by which 
% to determine breaks in the signal. It returns a list of possible
% word breaks.
