Out of interest, has anyone looked at Opus for low bitrate streams? You can get some incredible results even at 16 to 32 kbps, technically even in stereo at those low bitrates, though the stereo width is narrow until you get above 64. The lower the bitrate, the more collapsed the stereo image.
The size-to-sound ratio is even better than AAC Plus, and definitely better than Ogg, although Opus isn't as widely supported for playback.
I recently did a 2.5 hour Opus stream from a commercial flight at 32 kb/sec just to see if I could hold it, and it worked well enough. This mostly featured radio communication patched into my phone, and I also had a cardioid dynamic mic I could pull up occasionally.
Certainly worth considering for streaming in areas where bandwidth is extremely limited.

That s about what we find:
On Walney we use about 30GB per month at quality setting of 0.6 stereo

In my experience the monthly download (from running a 24/7 open stream from the server) is around 30 GB. Some of the streams are stereo, and some at a higher bitrate so this number might go down if settings are adjusted for lower quality.
Best, r.

I'm not entirely sure what the target bitrate is, but let's take 64 kbps as an example. With ogg, it's usually not CBR, but let's assume it is for estimates.
Assuming 64 kbps, that's about 28.2 Megabytes per hour, or about 675 megabytes per day. A month with 31 days of continuous streaming at that bitrate will consume roughly 20.4Gb.

I'm seriously considering to move my streambox to a rural area, data plan costs is baiscally what concerns me, do you have an estimate of usage for a mono mic ogg setup _______________________________________________ Locustream / Locus Sonus Streaming Project http://locusonus.org/ http://locusonus.org/ To unsubscribe, send a message to locustream-request@nujus.net mailto:locustream-request@nujus.net with unsubscribe in the subject or the message http://nujus.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/locustream http://nujus.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/locustream _______________________________________________
