Opus 1.5 Released
opus-codec.org

There’s a lot, and specifically a lot of machine learning talk and features in the 1.5 release of Opus - the free and open audio codec.

Audible and continuous (albeit jittery) talk on 90% packet loss is crazy.

Section WebRTC Integration → Samples has an example where you can test out the 90 % packet loss audio.

    I wish they had a feed for posts like these. Their mail feed is mostly release notes but sometimes they post great articles like these and I would love to subscribe.

      It requires compile flag and runtime enabling. So it at least requires some thought and development more than just a lib version upgrade.

      I saw the link on the Mumble dev chat, so at least they’re aware of it.

      Given that it’s only really (very) useful in very flaky/bad connection scenarios I’m not sure it’s even worth it in most cases.
