[opus] Opus File Format

[Simon G4ELI/HB9DRV]

Yes,

 

That's the sort of approach. At the moment I can record with WMA although I
do see a demand for recording with a format as described below, so I'll have
to write my own player (Windows only).

If I were doing this, I would make each frequency switch a "chain boundary".
This is analogous to having the overall stream actually be a playlist of
consecutive streams, each representing one segment in which the radio
channel was constant.  Then each segment can easily be tagged with the
frequency of the channel.  You can do this using Ogg Vorbis or Ogg Opus
today.

my own storage format for this, but it always makes sense to 'go with the
flow' so to speak.

Ah, I completely misunderstood that example then. I've never tried it,
but Kate should be able to do that as metadata:
http://wiki.xiph.org/Kate#Metadata particularly you can apply it to a
time range, which is probably what you want when tagging something
like radio frequency rather than an instantaneous label.
