the audio segment of mpeg4 gives you a ' palette ' of compression tools for
achieving low bite rate audio . i suspect that the flavour of compression
used here is the ' general audio coding tool ' , which is pretty much based
on mpeg2 AAC audio coding but souped up a little bit to include a few new
extra tricks .
check out the mpeg home page at
http://drogo.cselt.stet.it/mpeg/ for the
whole lowdown . the spec got publically released about 2 / 3 weeks ago .
hope this is some interest ?
