What do you need it for?
The possibility of having a web-based softphone without requiring any
plug-in is interesting. The adaptive nature of the ISAC codec could also
prove useful. I see lots of possibilities in the mobile device space.
I guess the lack of responses gives me the answer anyway!
The IETF Opus codec is nearing completion, and it is very likely that
it will be incorporated into the WebRTC stack soon after that. Given
that, there's not much reason to spend time working on ISAC.
A counter argument to that might be that Opus is fresh and new and
nobody knows what patent issues might come crawling into view. iSAC has
been around for a while. The source wasn't open until recently, but
licenced users have had it for a long time. There has been much more
opportunity for patent issues to show up.
