The Opus codec becomes an IETF standard

The Mozilla Hacks blog announces that the Opus codec is now an official IETF standard; it is RFC6716. "Opus is the first state of the art, free audio codec to be standardized. We think this will help us achieve wider adoption than prior royalty-free codecs like Speex and Vorbis. This spells the beginning of the end for proprietary formats, and we are now working on doing the same thing for video."
