- Check minimum width of bands - Revisit energy resolution based on the bit-rate - Revisit static bit allocation (as a function of frame size and channels) - Dynamic adjustment of energy quantisation - Psychacoustics * Error shaping within each band * Decisions on the rate - Intensity stereo decisions - Dynamic (intra-frame) bit allocation - Joint encoding of stereo energy - Encode band shape (or just tilt)? - Make energy encoding more robust to losses? Misc: Detect uint decoding and flag them in the decoder directly If we attempt to write too many bits on the encoder side, set a flag instead of aborting Save "raw bytes" at the end of the stream
