For voice and multimedia communication services as targeted by WebRTC, two codecs, G.711 and G.722, are fully fitting the conditions to get a mandatory to implement status: a fully ensured unencumbered status, a wide implementation in devices and legacy networks and a low complexity that ensures they can be supported on any types of plate-forms and terminals.

So we support both G.711 and G.722 to be specified as "mandatory to implement" codecs since G.722 will guarantee a much higher voice quality at same bit rate and almost no additional cost. At a minimum G.722 should be (strongly) recommended.

With respect to OPUS, it has currently no footprint on the market, its implementation complexity and resulting costs are unknown, including with respect to IPRs issues, and some performance aspects are still to be more deeply assessed, like for instance quality with packet losses and jitter which is a key issue for usage over internet. 

In addition, we believe that two additional requirements are necessary to make WebRTC a future proof technology and suitable for a wide range of applications and environments:
Firstly, the optional support of other widely deployed legacy codecs must be allowed which includes at least the codecs implemented in millions of mobile terminals: AMR and AMR-WB.
Secondly, the technology must be open enough to facilitate the usage of any other codecs supported by the device but external to the browser.

Objet : [rtcweb] Confirmation of consensus on audio codecs


At the last meeting we took a hum on selecting Opus and G.711 as the mediatory to implement audio codecs. If there is any new opinions please send them to the list by August 30th, after which the chairs will make a determination of consensus.

Thanks,
Cullen
