MPEG-4 Structured Audio has its roots in another Media Lab project
called NetSound, developed by Michael Casey and other members of
the Machine Listening Group at the MIT Media Lab in 1995-1996.
NetSound has similar concepts to MPEG-4 Structured Audio, but uses
Csound, developed by Barry Vercoe, to do the synthesis.

Looking at the dates on when the PDF files were available for
download in the log, The FCD (Final Committee Draft) of the standard
came out in May 1998, and the FDIS (Final Draft of International Standard)
came out in April 1999.
---> I gather that sfront came > last of all, but perhaps that is not so.
Yes, we weren't (and aren't) a part of MPEG, and played no role in the standardization process ...
