So Opus-DRED is currently an experimental Opus feature?

But yeah, in principle I think we have nothing against a PR that adds support for it. Until the feature is standardized/stabilized I would like to have it optional (defaulting to OFF for the time being) though.

If you are touching the Opus code already - I would also like to make you aware of https://github.com/mumble-voip/mumble/issues/4519 (where a DRED implementation was also recently requested). Whether or not you would like to implement support for enabling FEC or not is completely up to you though.

There is also https://github.com/mumble-voip/mumble/issues/3502 but I think that one would likely be more (maybe significantly more) work to implement.
