What you say it's true for a wide scale usage. However, imagine a small company, startup, or a sole developer using this for their projects or as a internal format. I found it very interesting even if there is not a widespread use of it.

It is interesting! I agree but I guess I am getting to old. I keep hearing awesome new formats and than they just waste away. The few success stories are few and in between. FLAC and OGG are a good example. OGG is a decent format and I prefer it to MP3 but it really just withered. FLAC is awesome but it is far from main stream. Heck even SVG is far from where it SHOULD be.

    It has the devices covered > Devices based on Google's Android platform, as of version 5.0 "Lollipop", support the Opus codecs. Chromecast supports Opus decoding. Grandstream GXV3240 and GXV3275 video IP phones support Opus audio both for encoding and decoding. Developers were Mozilla and Skype (MS after the purchase) >Its main developers are Jean-Marc Valin (Xiph.Org, Octasic, Mozilla Corporation), Koen Vos (Skype), and Timothy B. Terriberry (Xiph.Org, Mozilla Corporation). Among others, Juin-Hwey (Raymond) Chen (Broadcom), Gregory Maxwell (Xiph.Org, Wikimedia), and Christopher Montgomery (Xiph.Org) were also involved. Standardized > https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6716 https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6716 Still I think most people have no idea about Opus as a codex and only thing OGG (Container which Opus uses) and Vorbis codec format (Which Opus was to replace).
