[opus] adaptive bandwidth

Thanks Dragos,

I assume I will be setting those parameters during initialization of
encoder right?
Question is, if connection gets too lossy, how will opus adapt to it? Can
it automatically shift bitrate down to minimize impact?
Mark from IRC suggests that the app has to be aware of the losses and
change it on the fly.
Has anybody on the list tried this?
