Package: opus
Version: 0.9.14+20120615-1
Severity: wishlist
It is with great fanfare that the Xiph.org group, the IETF and the
Mozilla foundation have announced the standardisation of the Opus
codec and therefore the 1.0 release of the reference implementation:
https://hacks.mozilla.org/2012/09/its-opus-it-rocks-and-now-its-an-audio-codec-standard/
The latest release at the time of writing is 1.0.1, available here:
http://www.opus-codec.org/downloads/
It would be great if wheezy could ship with the stable release!

I'm glad to hear you're excited about this.
We're all pretty happy about all the work that has gone into this
coming to fruit now too!

There'll be another minor update on that branch in just a few days time,
and there's a new encoder coming not far behind that which will further
improve the quality on very difficult samples at even lower bitrates
(but remain completely compatible with existing decoders).
While we're still in the freeze, I'll make packages of that available
in experimental for people. Once the release happens people can look
at making backports, which should be fairly trivial to do.
I am in the loop upstream with all this though, so I don't really need
new-upstream bugs here to let me know what's happening there :)

It certainly would, but it's probably a bit late for that unfortunately.
If you know of any real release critical issues that we do need to get
in for that, then please don't keep them to yourself, but most of the
changes from what we already have probably don't really fit the freeze
exception criteria.
There may be one or two things we should still backport, but I don't
think the release team is really going to want to hear about just
bringing in a "new upstream", just because it now really has an RFC
number.
The version we currently have in wheezy is completely bitstream
compatible with what was announced there, and the quality should be
equivalent. The main changes have been documentation fixes, some
extra robustness checking in a few places, a couple of small API
extensions, and some portability tweaks for obscure platforms.
So I'm closing this as a bug here, but yes there'll be new versions
hitting experimental soon, and the one currently in wheezy should be
good for you to use in the meantime.
Cheers,
Ron
