Right now reading that Dolby is also patent-bullshitting about AV1, I wondered if there is any "open" alternative to the prevalent Dolby Surround and Atmos and whatever systems, considering they're basically part of every sound system these days. And it seems Google and Samsung are actually trying to push the open "Eclipsa Audio". I'm not very optimistic about anyone being able to compete with Dolby, but, as much as I hate Google as a company, maybe their market share in systems might be an advantage for this. Not that *I* would be able to buy sound systems anyway, but hey, open stuff existing is good! Next step: Replace HDMI, or something? 😁
