[playogg-discuss] Why not playOpus?

[CodeHero]

I just saw the playOgg campaign and it looks like a nice idea. However 
I've been wondering why you did not advertise opus instead as even 
xiph.org says that opus makes other lossy codecs like Vorbis and Speex 
obsolete 
https://wiki.xiph.org/OpusFAQ#Does_Opus_make_all_those_other_lossy_codecs_obsolete.3F

This would also undoubtedly improve your marketing as you could explain 
the advantages of opus over other codecs (high quality streaming with 
low bandwith and low filesize being two of them), which would make it 
more appealing for corporations and users alike.

I would really like to see a free audio codec be used everywhere, but 
this codec should not be Vorbis or Speex. It should be opus as it 
replaces both of them and brings additional advantages.

Also, when you make a campaign like that you will usually want to entice 
users to follow it by using as many arguments as possible, and solely 
relying on the free software argument is not enough to get many users to 
support the campaign. You will also want to use arguments of technical 
advantage and convenience to get users to support you. Something like 
"With opus you can store lots of music without using up lots of space 
AND you can easily stream it over low bandwith without having to 
reencode." will help catch users' attention. I am not saying that 
freedom is not important, but that it should not be the only argument 
you are making. I also want to see you support technological advantage 
as it is seen in opus as it is undoubtedly the number one (and 
versatile) lossy audio codec, and it is free software on top of that.

Thank you for your time
