Is there any reason to stick to multiples of 16/32 for target bitrate in opus encoder or does it not matter? I noticed qaac/Apple AAC forces 112-128-160-192 etc.

Unless it's a special use-case which also requires hard CBR, it does not matter.

Opus does have some built-in bitrate thresholds that affect how it encodes - some, but not all of of these are at 16kbps multiples, probably for historical reasons.

Opus-tools v0.2-34-g98f3ddc (using libopus 1.5.2-2-gdfd4175)
Built on April 22, 2024, GCC 13.2.0

Why is there such a huge difference in size between the encoder (676 352 bytes) and the decoder (5 625 344)?
• Join our efforts to make Helix MP3 encoder great again
• Opus complexity & qAAC dependence on Apple is an aberration from Vorbis & Musepack breakthroughs
• Let's pray that D. Bryant improve WavPack hybrid, C. Helmrich update FSLAC, M. van Beurden teach FLAC to handle non-audio data

It's at least partly due to the LACE/noLACE postprocessing for low bitrate voice.

"Building with --enable-osce increases the binary size by about 1.6 MB, roughly 0.5 MB for LACE and 1.1 MB for NoLACE. " https://opus-codec.org/demo/opus-1.5/

Low bitrate voice? It reminds me of this topic where we were looking for a way to compress 11025 Hz 16 bit mono file (history.wav) with speech and some music in the background. We started with 24 kbps, went down to 16 kbps, and ended with 12 kbps MP3 and AAC SBR, which sound not just intelligible, but satisfying. What can Opus offer here?

@NetRanger, where can I see the history of changes? Tried three places:
* https://github.com/xiph/opus-tools/ last commit 5 months ago
* https://github.com/xiph/libopusenc/ last commit 2 years ago
* https://github.com/xiph/opus/ last verified commit on Apr 10, 2024, but no g98f3ddc around

@NetRanger, err, so the difference between the 2 builds of yours (April 22 and April 26) are 2 unverified commits?

I use media-autobuild_suite for my compile 'needs' and dont really check the changes of what it puts out. It's as simple as that.
