A complete demo of CELT

[jmvalin]

Monty has just finished a very interesting CELT demo that covers most of the techniques used in CELT and their history. It also includes a large number of audio samples, including comparisons with Vorbis and various flavours of AAC. CELT has come a long long way in the past three years and even in the past three months, quality has gone up significantly, to the point where it sounds better than Vorbis on many (most?) samples and even comparable to HE-AAC at 64 kb/s. The target is to freeze the bit-stream early January for integration within the Opus codec, but there may still be a few quality improvements we can make before that -- not to mention all the encoder-side improvements we can make even after the bit-stream is frozen.
