It's now 2024, and I'm seeing a big surge in the usage of this codec in Icecast 2 and video-streaming (over other ones) by a LOT of streaming platforms and online radio station platforms (like 'Radio.co' and the new 'Caster.fm Cloud'). At this point, I believe its not only been standardized with the Ogg format (as the newest implementation of Ogg), but with others as well. My question to VDJ is, ...has the OPUS codec already been implemented into the "Broadcast/Encoding-Quality" section of VDJ for use with the available Ogg streaming formats, or are the Ogg selections still the older "Ogg Vorbis"? If it is, I would like to make a feature request to add or replace the codec into the available Ogg streaming format selections in VDJ.
I bring this all up because I visited the https://opus-codec.org/ site and took a good look at it and it's comparison to all the other existing formats. Looks to me like this is making quick ground. I'm in the process of building-out and running my own Azuracast station/hosting platform up, and I noticed even Azuracast has support and the option for selecting Ogg OPUS streaming format now at full bandwidth to 48Khz.

It's not currently available, but would indeed make sense to add

I pulled some condensed versions of some of the charts I found from there....
