Reviews
gollark: Opus, say, is a more efficient codec than DFPWM, so you could use a lower bitrate and still keep everyone happy.
gollark: <@!369987447276437523> Why not?
gollark: DFPWM? You can, LionRay does it and there's some simple C implementation.
gollark: Tape drive DFPWM en/decoding already occurs out of game, so that doesn't apply.
gollark: It would have been smarter to just use Opus for sound encoding, but DFPWM is... simpler, I guess?
