Hi,

Please add support for the Opus audio codec. See [http://www.opus-codec.org/comparison/](http://www.opus-codec.org/comparison/) and [http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6716](http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6716) (the standard was just ratified by [Xiph.Org](http://Xiph.Org), Mozilla, Microsoft, Broadcom, Octasic, and Google.

Thanks,

Gili

Gili,

I forwarded your request. It is possible, but not something we plan to add in the near future.

Any updates on Opus or other recommended codecs for ingestion from live sources? Wondering if air native extension would fix half of my issues by providing AAC from mobile sources. Still stuck in the flash player though with speex .

thanks

I would also need the opus audio codec to be included. Hope we get support for it next year!
