ret = opus_encoder_ctl(enc_ctx, OPUS_SET_BANDWIDTH(OPUS_AUTO));
if (ret != OPUS_OK) return ret;
opus_int32 rate;
opus_encoder_ctl(enc_ctx, OPUS_GET_BANDWIDTH(&rate));
opus_encoder_ctl(enc_ctx, OPUS_RESET_STATE);

See also
OPUS_SET_INBAND_FEC
Parameters
x opus_int32 *: Returns one of the following values:
0 Inband FEC disabled (default).
1 Inband FEC enabled. If the packet loss rate is sufficiently
high, Opus will automatically switch to SILK even at high rates
to enable use of that FEC.

we have music.
#define OPUS_GET_LOOKAHEAD(x)
Gets the total samples of delay added by the entire codec. This can be
queried by the encoder and then the provided number of samples can be
skipped on from the start of the decoder's output to provide time
aligned input and output. From the perspective of a decoding application
the real data begins this many samples late.
The decoder contribution to this delay is identical for all decoders,
but the encoder portion of the delay may vary from implementation to
implementation, version to version, or even depend on the encoder's
initial configuration. Applications needing delay compensation should
call this CTL rather than hard-coding a value.
Parameters
x opus_int32 *: Number of lookahead samples
#define OPUS_GET_LSB_DEPTH(x)
Gets the encoder's configured signal depth.
See also
OPUS_SET_LSB_DEPTH

OPUS_GET_VBR
Parameters

1 Constrained VBR (default).
#define OPUS_SET_APPLICATION(x)
Configures the encoder's intended application. The initial value is a
mandatory argument to the encoder_create function.
See also
OPUS_GET_APPLICATION
Parameters
x opus_int32: Returns one of the following values:
OPUS_APPLICATION_VOIP
Process signal for improved speech intelligibility.
OPUS_APPLICATION_AUDIO
Favor faithfulness to the original input.
OPUS_APPLICATION_RESTRICTED_LOWDELAY
Configure the minimum possible coding delay by disabling certain
modes of operation.
#define OPUS_SET_BANDWIDTH(x)
Sets the encoder's bandpass to a specific value. This prevents the
encoder from automatically selecting the bandpass based on the available
bitrate. If an application knows the bandpass of the input audio it is
providing, it should normally use OPUS_SET_MAX_BANDWIDTH instead, which
still gives the encoder the freedom to reduce the bandpass when the
bitrate becomes too low, for better overall quality.
See also
OPUS_GET_BANDWIDTH
Parameters
x opus_int32: Allowed values:
OPUS_AUTO
(default)
OPUS_BANDWIDTH_NARROWBAND
4 kHz passband
OPUS_BANDWIDTH_MEDIUMBAND
6 kHz passband
OPUS_BANDWIDTH_WIDEBAND
8 kHz passband
OPUS_BANDWIDTH_SUPERWIDEBAND
12 kHz passband
OPUS_BANDWIDTH_FULLBAND
20 kHz passband
#define OPUS_SET_BITRATE(x)
Configures the bitrate in the encoder. Rates from 500 to 512000 bits per
second are meaningful, as well as the special values OPUS_AUTO and
OPUS_BITRATE_MAX. The value OPUS_BITRATE_MAX can be used to cause the
codec to use as much rate as it can, which is useful for controlling the
rate by adjusting the output buffer size.
See also
OPUS_GET_BITRATE
Parameters
x opus_int32: Bitrate in bits per second. The default is determined
based on the number of channels and the input sampling rate.
#define OPUS_SET_COMPLEXITY(x)
Configures the encoder's computational complexity. The supported range
is 0-10 inclusive with 10 representing the highest complexity.
See also
OPUS_GET_COMPLEXITY
Parameters
x opus_int32: Allowed values: 0-10, inclusive.
#define OPUS_SET_DNN_BLOB(data, len)
Provide external DNN weights from binary object (only when explicitly
built without the weights)
#define OPUS_SET_DRED_DURATION(x)
If non-zero, enables Deep Redundancy (DRED) and use the specified
maximum number of 10-ms redundant frames.
#define OPUS_SET_DTX(x)
Configures the encoder's use of discontinuous transmission (DTX).
Note
This is only applicable to the LPC layer
See also
OPUS_GET_DTX
Parameters
x opus_int32: Allowed values:
0 Disable DTX (default).
1 Enabled DTX.
#define OPUS_SET_EXPERT_FRAME_DURATION(x)
Configures the encoder's use of variable duration frames. When variable
duration is enabled, the encoder is free to use a shorter frame size
than the one requested in the opus_encode*() call. It is then the user's
responsibility to verify how much audio was encoded by checking the ToC
byte of the encoded packet. The part of the audio that was not encoded
needs to be resent to the encoder for the next call. Do not use this
option unless you really know what you are doing.
See also
OPUS_GET_EXPERT_FRAME_DURATION
Parameters
x opus_int32: Allowed values:
OPUS_FRAMESIZE_ARG
Select frame size from the argument (default).
OPUS_FRAMESIZE_2_5_MS
Use 2.5 ms frames.
OPUS_FRAMESIZE_5_MS
Use 5 ms frames.
OPUS_FRAMESIZE_10_MS
Use 10 ms frames.
OPUS_FRAMESIZE_20_MS
Use 20 ms frames.
OPUS_FRAMESIZE_40_MS
Use 40 ms frames.
OPUS_FRAMESIZE_60_MS
Use 60 ms frames.
OPUS_FRAMESIZE_80_MS
Use 80 ms frames.
OPUS_FRAMESIZE_100_MS
Use 100 ms frames.
OPUS_FRAMESIZE_120_MS
Use 120 ms frames.
#define OPUS_SET_FORCE_CHANNELS(x)
Configures mono/stereo forcing in the encoder. This can force the
encoder to produce packets encoded as either mono or stereo, regardless
of the format of the input audio. This is useful when the caller knows
that the input signal is currently a mono source embedded in a stereo
stream.
See also
OPUS_GET_FORCE_CHANNELS
Parameters
x opus_int32: Allowed values:
OPUS_AUTO
Not forced (default)
1 Forced mono
2 Forced stereo
#define OPUS_SET_INBAND_FEC(x)
Configures the encoder's use of inband forward error correction (FEC).
Note
This is only applicable to the LPC layer
See also
OPUS_GET_INBAND_FEC
Parameters
x opus_int32: Allowed values:
0 Disable inband FEC (default).
1 Inband FEC enabled. If the packet loss rate is sufficiently
high, Opus will automatically switch to SILK even at high rates
to enable use of that FEC.
2 Inband FEC enabled, but does not necessarily switch to SILK if
we have music.
#define OPUS_SET_LSB_DEPTH(x)
Configures the depth of signal being encoded. This is a hint which helps
the encoder identify silence and near-silence. It represents the number
of significant bits of linear intensity below which the signal contains
ignorable quantization or other noise.
For example, OPUS_SET_LSB_DEPTH(14) would be an appropriate setting for
G.711 u-law input. OPUS_SET_LSB_DEPTH(16) would be appropriate for
16-bit linear pcm input with opus_encode_float().
When using opus_encode() instead of opus_encode_float(), or when libopus
is compiled for fixed-point, the encoder uses the minimum of the value
set here and the value 16.
See also
OPUS_GET_LSB_DEPTH
Parameters
x opus_int32: Input precision in bits, between 8 and 24 (default:
24).
#define OPUS_SET_MAX_BANDWIDTH(x)
Configures the maximum bandpass that the encoder will select
automatically. Applications should normally use this instead of
OPUS_SET_BANDWIDTH (leaving that set to the default, OPUS_AUTO). This
allows the application to set an upper bound based on the type of input
it is providing, but still gives the encoder the freedom to reduce the
bandpass when the bitrate becomes too low, for better overall quality.
See also
OPUS_GET_MAX_BANDWIDTH
Parameters
x opus_int32: Allowed values:
OPUS_BANDWIDTH_NARROWBAND
4 kHz passband
OPUS_BANDWIDTH_MEDIUMBAND
6 kHz passband
OPUS_BANDWIDTH_WIDEBAND
8 kHz passband
OPUS_BANDWIDTH_SUPERWIDEBAND
12 kHz passband
OPUS_BANDWIDTH_FULLBAND
20 kHz passband (default)
#define OPUS_SET_PACKET_LOSS_PERC(x)
Configures the encoder's expected packet loss percentage. Higher values
trigger progressively more loss resistant behavior in the encoder at the
expense of quality at a given bitrate in the absence of packet loss, but
greater quality under loss.
See also
OPUS_GET_PACKET_LOSS_PERC
Parameters
x opus_int32: Loss percentage in the range 0-100, inclusive
(default: 0).
#define OPUS_SET_PREDICTION_DISABLED(x)
If set to 1, disables almost all use of prediction, making frames almost
completely independent. This reduces quality.
See also
OPUS_GET_PREDICTION_DISABLED
Parameters
x opus_int32: Allowed values:
0 Enable prediction (default).
1 Disable prediction.
#define OPUS_SET_SIGNAL(x)
Configures the type of signal being encoded. This is a hint which helps
the encoder's mode selection.
See also
OPUS_GET_SIGNAL
Parameters
x opus_int32: Allowed values:
OPUS_AUTO
(default)
OPUS_SIGNAL_VOICE
Bias thresholds towards choosing LPC or Hybrid modes.
OPUS_SIGNAL_MUSIC
Bias thresholds towards choosing MDCT modes.
#define OPUS_SET_VBR(x)
Enables or disables variable bitrate (VBR) in the encoder. The
configured bitrate may not be met exactly because frames must be an
integer number of bytes in length.
See also
OPUS_GET_VBR
OPUS_SET_VBR_CONSTRAINT
Parameters
x opus_int32: Allowed values:
0 Hard CBR. For LPC/hybrid modes at very low bit-rate, this can
cause noticeable quality degradation.
1 VBR (default). The exact type of VBR is controlled by
OPUS_SET_VBR_CONSTRAINT.
#define OPUS_SET_VBR_CONSTRAINT(x)
Enables or disables constrained VBR in the encoder. This setting is
ignored when the encoder is in CBR mode.
Warning
Only the MDCT mode of Opus currently heeds the constraint. Speech
mode ignores it completely, hybrid mode may fail to obey it if the
LPC layer uses more bitrate than the constraint would have
permitted.
See also
OPUS_GET_VBR_CONSTRAINT
OPUS_SET_VBR
Parameters
x opus_int32: Allowed values:
0 Unconstrained VBR.
1 Constrained VBR (default). This creates a maximum of one frame
of buffering delay assuming a transport with a serialization
speed of the nominal bitrate.
