MPEG
4
An
audio technology developed at the MIT Media Lab
called Structured
Audio
will be part of the forthcoming MPEG-4 standard.
While existing audio formats represent sound as a
stream of bits, Structured Audio stores content as
a computer program in a language called SAOL
(Structured Audio Orchestra Language) pronounced
"sail". Transmitting data as a program is supposed
to be more efficient than transmitting streams of
bits.
