You have to give the request some attention, though&#8211; it acknowledges that there are already lots and lots of audio codecs in existence and explains why each category is unsuitable to the goals of the request. I&#8217;m not going to be the one to audit every one of those 137 codecs and identify why each is unsuitable for the outlined goals.<\/p>\n<p>I am a bit concerned about some of their stated goals, such as the very first one: &#8220;Designing for use in interactive applications (examples include, but are not limited to, point-to-point voice calls, multi-party voice conferencing, telepresence, teleoperation, in-game voice chat, and live music performance).&#8221; Generally, one of those examples is not like the others (unless, perhaps, &#8220;live music performance&#8221; refers to <em>a cappella<\/em> singing. Then again, the request later states that optimizing for very low bitrates (2.4 kbps and lower) is out of scope.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RFC (Request For
