Codecs are a bit of a black art to me, but it's good to see them
continually improving. We should probably require (a free) one as an
interoperability baseline, but it must also be easy to add others and to
select arbitrary bit rates up to whatever the modems can support.

Transcoding (conversion from one lossy format to another) is to be
avoided at all costs, so it must be especially easy to keep adding new
decoders to whatever applications people use for decoding.
