(RFC 3555 published July 2003, subtype last updated March 2007 per RFC4856) Type name: audio Subtype name: L8 Required parameters: rate: the RTP timestamp clock rate Optional parameters: channels: how many audio streams are interleaved -- defaults to 1; stereo would be 2, etc. Interleaving takes place between individual one-byte samples. The channel order is as specified in RFC 3551. ptime, maxptime: see RFC 8826 Encoding considerations: This media type is framed binary data (see Section 4.8 in RFC 4288). Security considerations: This media type does not carry active content. It does transfer compressed data. See Section 4 of RFC 4856. Interoperability considerations: none Published specification: RFC 3551 Applications that use this media type: Audio and video streaming and conferencing tools. Additional information: none Person & email address to contact for further information: Stephen Casner Intended usage: COMMON Restrictions on usage: This media type depends on RTP framing, and hence is only defined for transfer via RTP (RFC 3550). Transfer within other framing protocols is not defined at this time. Author: Stephen Casner Change controller: IETF Audio/Video Transport working group delegated from the IESG.
