Audio codec specifications for different applications Options

[ljudofil]

Hi!

I am trying to learn more about codecs in different situations, and what specifications that could be necessary for different applications.

An example would be voiceconference for example, where I know that it must be a positive factor to have as low latency as possible. But what more specifications could it be in that case?

I understand that different applications need different specifications, but I don't know so much what broadcast, mobile phones, conference, web audio needs at the moment.


I am studying the OPUS codec now and it seems promising as a new and upcoming one.

/Thanks
