4 Design Rules of Encapsulation
4.1 File Type Indentification<a name="4.1"></a>
This specification does not define brands to declare files are conformant to this specification.
TODO: Should we define such brands, e.g. 'Opus'. If we define the brand(s), we can utilize files conformant to
this specification for the storage of Opus coded bitstream without other derived file formats.

It is not preferable that encapsulation of Opus bitstreams with only the brands of the ISO Base Media File
Format, though files conformant to this specification are compatible with certain versions of the ISO
Base Media File Format. See ISO/IEC 14496-12 [3] E.1 Introduction.
If you desire that this file format is an alternative file format to the Ogg Opus, I recommend you define.

4.3 Byte Order
The fields in the boxes are stored as big-endian format.
TODO: What about bytes in Opus samples?
All Opus samples are processed byte-by-byte. Therefore, the endianness has nothing to do with any Opus sample.

4.4 Definition of Opus sample
4.4.1 Opus sample<a name="4.4.1"></a>
An Opus sample is exactly one Opus packet.
An Opus sample is exactly one Opus packet for each of different Opus bitstreams. Due to support more than
two channels, an Opus sample can contain frames from multiple Opus bitstreams but all Opus packets shall
share with the total of frame sizes in a single Opus sample.
In this specification, 'sample' means 'Opus sample' except for 'padded samples', 'priming samples', 'valid
sample' and 'sample-accurate', i.e. 'sample' is 'sample' in the term defined in ISO/IEC 14496-12 [1].
TODO: If an Opus packet consists of multiple Opus streams, it can be splitted into individual streams and
reconstructed into new Opus packets as long as every Opus stream has the same total duration in each
Opus packet. This requires additional channel mapping at outside of the existing Opus Specific Box.
TODO: If an Opus sample consists of multiple Opus streams, it can be splitted into individual streams and
reconstructed into new Opus samples as long as every Opus stream has the same total duration in each

The solution may be achieved by using track references and new channel mapping/layout indications.
Or should we forbid splitting into multiple tracks to avoid more complex implementations?
Or just use channel mapping other than what the existing Opus Specific Box does, such as bit masks?
4.4.2 Duration of Opus sample<a name="4.4.2"></a>
The duration of Opus sample is given by multiplying the least common multiple of the frame size in seconds
of all frames inside Opus packet by the value of the timescale field in the Media Header Box.

To indicate the valid samples excluding the padded samples at the end of Opus bitstream, the duration of
the last Opus sample of an Opus bitstream is given by multiplying the number of the valid samples by the
