Re: IETF 82 Audio Streaming - Updated

Hi Yakoov,

live sessions provided by Meetecho adopt exactly the approach you propose (RTSP 8K flow). I think that the objective of the high quality mp3 feed is also in line with what you suggest.

Cheers,

I want to somewhat retract my earlier statement on how good the audio quality 
has been.

After being very impressed with the quality on many sessions,
this morning I attempted to be (inter)active in a session.

I discovered that the delay was intolerably long,
over 5 seconds one-way delay between seeing a jabber update and hearing the 
associated audio.
And the jabber typing presumably took some time too, so the real delay was even 
higher.
By the time I heard the chair ask for questions, I typed in a question and the 
jabber scribe saw it,
the next speaker was already talking.

It is conventional in speech quality metrics to distinguish between whether the 
application is one-way or interactive.
When interactive, if the delay is too long for the application to properly 
function,
the subjective quality is effectively zero.

So, for plenary presentations and sessions where one just wants to listen the 
audio is great.
For sessions where one is used to playing an active role, the quality is 
completely unacceptable.

I captured a few packets and discovered that the audio is MPEG sampled at 22050 
over http over tcp.
Perhaps we could have a parallel RTSP 8K flow for people desiring it.
