Description Bearcat M. Şándor 2016-09-17 00:28:58 UTC

according to the changelog for opus 1.1.3 on http://www.opus-codec.org/downloads/ this version supports ambisonics encoding. Could we add an ambisonics keyword and enable that switch?

Ambisonics is a popular, royalty free surround sound format in the linux audio world.

    media-libs/opus: add (experimental) ambisonics support (bug #594030)


please note that, as i understood, since the format is not finalized you have no guarantee that ambisonics streams produced by 1.1.3 will be compatible with future versions.
