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 Codec)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2158","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-general"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/multimedia.cx\/eggs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2158","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/multimedia.cx\/eggs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/multimedia.cx\/eggs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/multimedia.cx\/eggs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/multimedia.cx\/eggs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2158"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/multimedia.cx\/eggs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2158\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2164,"href":"https:\/\/multimedia.cx\/eggs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2158\/revisions\/2164"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/multimedia.cx\/eggs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2158"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/multimedia.cx\/eggs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2158"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/multimedia.cx\/eggs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2158"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
