Opus supports up to 510 kb/s – so we increase it. We increase the number of audio channels from 1 to 2: from mono to stereo. - Source: dev.to / over 2 years ago

Well known organizations I previously worked at include Juniper Networks and Mozilla. I am one of the authors of the Opus audio codec (among other codecs).
