Re: [codec] #15: Efficiently combine pre-encoded audio

[Stephan Wenger <[e-mail]>]

True, with the notable exception of Vorbis (whose codebook concept is very
similar to H.264¹s parameter set concept, and the codebooks can be sent
out-of-band‹that¹s actually recommended for many applications).  See RFC
5215 how this is done.
Combining vorbis streams in a box that receives codebooks via SDP in
SIP-reinvite or something, and without in band codebooks, is an interesting
task from a synchronization viewpoint, but not impossible.
