What do you mean by "this is work we have done before"? At least it has
never been the case in IETF, if that was the case why were there all these
discussions that IETF do not have the expertise to do that work?
There have been some activities to rubberstamp some codecs (iLBC, Speex
following some experimental tracks) but no activities related to the
standardization of new audio codecs.

But I don't think we can say that relevent members of the IETF community
do *not* have the competence to work on an audio codec or that they are
*not* willing to listen to technically competent input from any source
when it comes to codec technologies. Indeed, the two BoFs at Stockholm
and Hiroshima would lead, I think, to the opposite conclusion: the
people who want to do this work appear to be competent (they have
already developed codecs like Speex, CELT, SILK, IPMR, BV16, and BV32)
and to be quite committed to rough consensus and running code, we have
some precedent for doing work of this kind within the IETF (e.g., RFC
3951), several longtime IETF participants have experience with digital
signal processing and similar technologies, a codec working group would
attract new participants with relevant areas of expertise, and people at
the BoFs appeared to be quite open to input from the IETF community or
any interested individual.
+1
This is work we've done before and there seems to be no particular
reason that it should not be done here again.
