Z3986 Issues Detail

Clarify Variable Bit Rate in spec

Submitted By:   Kathy Kahl

Status:   Resolved

Issue Type:   Specification

Assigned To:   Linus Ericson

Issue Description:    The spec at http://www.daisy.org/z3986/2005/z3986-2005.html#para_89 says: "While the ISO standards for MP3 and AAC require support for variable bit rate playback, players compliant with this standard are only required to support constant bit rate playback." This is the only reference in the spec to variable bit rates and it implies but should make clear that DTBs may not include variable bit rate audio files.

This Issue Has Been Resolved as an Errata

Specification should be modified in Section 5.1
