"I'm writing to suggest the community work together to specify a standard
for the format of DVD Audio discs that will be Free as in Freedom. There
are a couple of competing standards proposals for DVD Audio discs that have
the advantage of higher audio fidelity than Compact Discs (sampled at, say,
24 bits instead of 16) and that can hold more minutes of music, but it's
quite clear that the companies behind the standardization efforts consider
copy-protection their first priority."
