Wow, very instructive, thanks Roland! Much more work has been done there than what we proposed in our draft. And this one was implemented in many ridiculously powered devices, which means that it's not that complicated to implement. With a bit of refreshing, that could be used as a basis for future encoding works. Regards, Willy
