Opus Codec Encoding

Opus is an open audio codec. Opus is a lossy audio compression format designed primarily for interactive real-time applications over the Internet. This test uses Opus-Tools and measures the time required to encode a WAV file to Opus five times.

To run this test with the Phoronix Test Suite, the basic command is: phoronix-test-suite benchmark encode-opus.
