Ogg Encapsulation for the Opus Audio Codec
Abstract
This document defines the Ogg encapsulation for the Opus interactive
speech and audio codec. This allows data encoded in the Opus format
to be stored in an Ogg logical bitstream.

1. Introduction
The IETF Opus codec is a low-latency audio codec optimized for both
voice and general-purpose audio. See [RFC6716] for technical
details. This document defines the encapsulation of Opus in a
continuous, logical Ogg bitstream [RFC3533]. Ogg encapsulation
provides Opus with a long-term storage format supporting all of the
essential features, including metadata, fast and accurate seeking,
corruption detection, recapture after errors, low overhead, and the
ability to multiplex Opus with other codecs (including video) with
minimal buffering. It also provides a live streamable format capable
of delivery over a reliable stream-oriented transport, without
requiring all the data (or even the total length of the data)
up-front, in a form that is identical to the on-disk storage format.
