opus - Nov 2013 - Opus Stereo for Speech

Hi,

I have a question regarding the stereo capabilities of Opus. I would like to
establish a connection between two ends via Wi-Fi and the signals that are to be
transmitted are of speech kind. It mean on both ends speech is both recorded and
played back as stereo. Now would the delay and loss characteristics of the
speech transmission at a certain bitrate be the same as Mono voice transmission?
Is it at all possible to use Opus for stereo Speech( considering acceptable
latency and package loss thresholds) ?

Thanks and best regards

If the speech really is stereo (L and R differ), it will require a
higher rate for the same quality.  Otherwise, the usage
characteristics of mono, dual-mono, and true stereo speech will be the
same.

Yes, certainly.
