ITU-T Recommendation G.719 provides a bit-exact, fixed-point specification of a fullband speech and audio coding algorithm operating from 32 kbit/s up-to 128 kbit/s. Although the primary use case for the codec is a two way interactive voice communication, there are several instances in which the storage of G.719 compressed audio is necessary. Such use cases include: " Recording of a teleconferencing session, e.g. education. " Voice mail " Call waiting music playback " Recording of online "jam"-sessions ITU-T G.719 does not specify a particular storage format for G.719; it only uses the G.192 bitstream for algorithmic simulation purposes. This amendment proposes the addition of Annex A to ITU-T G.719 recommendation where the use of the ISO base media file format as container for the G.719 bitstream addresses the aforementioned use cases and allow the G.719 codec to benefit from a widely spread file format. This amendment also includes Annex B, an alternative implementation of the G.719 in floating-point operations which is highly desirable for DSP platforms optimized for floating point.
