Transcript
[slide93] So I had all these different audio codings with different numbers of bits per sample, different frame lengths, etc. So this thing that I mentioned earlier, the low bitrate CODEC, was done by Professor Kleijn. It's used in the WebRTC product, but today one of the hot things is wideband CODECs. Really high-quality audio. That's right, so I'm getting audio, 16-bit sample, better than CD quality audio. Right?
