Opus 1.1 Released

[wraggster]

Xiph.org just released a major update (http://lists.xiph.org/pipermail/opus/2013-December/002419.html) to their Opus (http://www.opus-codec.org/) audio codec. Opus 1.1 offers major improvements (http://people.xiph.org/~xiphmont/demo/opus/demo3.shtml) over last year's 1.0.2 release. Opus is a general-purpose, very flexible, open and royalty-free audio codec that offers low-latency and high quality/bitrate, incorporating technology from Skype's SILK codec and Xiph.Org's CELT codec. Its first release beat everything else last year at 64kbit/s (http://people.xiph.org/~greg/opus/ha2011/) in a listening test held at HydrogenAudio (http://hydrogenaudio.org/).
