Supporting Opus, the format that is 2x smaller?
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Hi thanks for this wonderful lib!
Now I use aac audio formats. But I would appreciate it if I could use opus format. According to my experiments, opus can reduce 2x file size while preserving (and even better) audio quality.
Describe the solution you'd like Suppose opus on android and ios.
Describe alternatives you've considered n/a
Additional context n/a
Related to #20 . It's not always an easy thing to do particularly with iOS if you use the standard decoders provided by the platform. Apple has some formats it simply doesn't want to support. That doesn't mean it can't be worked around, but it may be easier to just use the formats that each platform natively supports.
@ryanheise Thanks. But imho opus is twice smaller without losing quality, so it is really desireable. For example:
- Users pay half of the money for the data usage when uploading their audio records
- Users wait for half of the time when uploading
- Users need half of time and monry for downloading (e.g. when they listen to this audio record)
- Programmers pay half of the money to store the audio records in server
- Programmers pay half of the cpu/memory to receive http file upload requests
Yes, you said that. But it's not easy to do. If you would like to contribute a pull request and do the hard work, you are welcome to help.
@ryanheise I will try to do so when I am free ;)
