[opus] Channel Mapping Family for Ambisonics

[Jean-Marc Valin]

Hi Michael,

Here's some more minor comments below. As long as you address the two
comments from my previous email (254 -> 2 and the draft name), the draft
is good for submitting as initial version on the IETF website (even if
you don't address all the minor comments from this email). FYI, this is
the address for submitting a new draft:
https://datatracker.ietf.org/submit/


Introduction: "The Ogg format is a container which transmission and
storage of audio coded using the Opus codec."

I think I forgot a word in this sentence. Also, Ogg is a general
container and isn't just for Opus.


Section 3: "A demuxer implmentation encountering Channel Mapping Family
254 SHOULD interpret the Opus stream as containing ambisonics with the
format described in Section 3.1."

Aside from changing 254 to 2, the "SHOULD" should be a "MUST".


Section 3.1: "Allowed numbers of channels: (1 + l)^2 for l = 0...14"

Minor nit: unless the use of "l" is standard for talking about
ambisonics, I would suggest using "k" instead, since "l" is easy to
confuse with "1".


Section 3.1: If it's not too complicated, can you explain how the "m"
index is derived?


Cheers,

	Jean-Marc
