Ongoing standardization efforts
Workshop talks and discussions show that ongoing
standardization efforts will bring advanced features and
performance improvements that the media production
industry needs. These include Iow-level access to
media as exposed by WebCodecs
better latency
measurement
capabilities in the Web Audio
enhanced
performances in WebAssembly (advanced
SIMD
64-bit memory heap support)
smoother Uls
when APIs are all available in workers
and production
quality support in WebRTC (multi-channel
audio
higher trame rate codecs support).
These ongoing standardization efforts span multiple
groups including the Media Working_Group (e.g:
WebCodecs
Media Capabilities) , the Audio_Working
Group; the WebAssembly_Working_Group; the WebRTC
Working_Group; the Accessibility_Guidelines Working
Group (WCAG) ; the GPU for_the_Web Working_Group
(WebGPU) , the Timed Text Working_Group_
or the Web
Platform Incubator Community_Group (WICG) for pre-
standardization efforts

These groups operate in public and happily take input
on their deliverables
usually through issues raised on
GitHub repositories:
Such an individual approach works
well to report specific needs and some workshop
participants already provided feedback on WebCodecs
or the Web Audio API.
An individual approach is not always enough: Groups
may need more input tO evaluate
feature to confirm
that the need is widely shared across the industry; to
evaluate whether leaving the feature Up to applications
can be
reasonable tradeoff between performance and
interoperability; or to explore alternative designs
Also,
some features only make sense when viewed from a
broader media production perspective, which groups do
not necessarily have
To go beyond individual contributions;
coordination
effort is needed. Coordination points already exist:
