Hi Everyone,

        Just noticed a few days ago that the Final Committee Draft
of MPEG-4 Version 2 is now available to the general public:

http://sound.media.mit.edu/mpeg4/audio/documents/w2803.html#ftp

        There's no obvious changes directly relevent to Structured
Audio and thus sfront, at least from a cursory glance over the
document -- hopefully someone in the subgroup listening in will
correct me if I'm wrong ...

        However, there is a new codec (HILN, for Harmonic and Individual
Line plus Noise) that is a parametric normative codec designed for
music compression at low bitrates, that might actually be an interesing
device to drive as a synthesis engine ...
