#28: Layered bit-stream

Changes (by gmaxwell@…):

  * status:  new => closed
  * resolution:  => worksforme


Comment:

 I haven't seen any recent discussion or interest in changing the current
 "desirable but not mandatory" language in the requirements draft.

 5.3.  Layered bit-stream

    A layered codec makes it possible to transmit only a certain subset
    of the bits and still obtain a valid bit-stream with a quality that
    is equivalent to the quality that would be obtained from encoding at
    the corresponding rate.  While this is not a necessary feature for
    most applications, it can be desirable for cases where a "mixing
    server" needs to handle a large number of streams with limited
    computational resources.
