I wonder if Opus is being used in production anywhere yet. For some content you could get away with 48kbit or less, which would cut the costs dramatically.

It's used by Mumble[0]. It definitely sounds great at lower bitrates.

Looks like Icecast supports Opus too

"Icecast is a streaming media server which currently supports Ogg (Vorbis and Theora), Opus, WebM and MP3 audio streams."

Thanks everyone. Absolutely what I love about HN.
