The RoarAudio developer team is in contact with both upstream and ron (the debian maintainer for celt/opus). We are aware of those problems. The protocol used to transmit CELT data (codec=ROAR_CELT) transmits the used version of CELT so the other end can (and will) check if they match so there will be no problem between packages compiled with diffrent versions of CELT (beside that it does not work). ron told me he is going to not upgrade libcelt to newer versions any more but to migrate all software to opus as soon as it gets into a clear legal state. Same goes for RoarAudio devels: as soon as the legal problems are solved we will start to support opus and this package will be migraded as well. I will contact ron again to ask him if anything changed I need to know about or if the planed migration path is still valid. -- Philipp. (Rah of PH2)
