One-page reference: the two clues (delay, loss), REMB vs transport-cc vs RFC 8888, why audio survives while video breaks first, the Opus numbers (6-510 kbps, per-20ms rate change, VBR default), the worked 250 kbps split, and the min/max bitrate settings per use case.

Audio for Video: A Complete Guide to Sound in Video Products: From Jitter Buffers and Lip Sync to Atmos, Quality Metrics, and Neural Codecs
This real-time audio bitrate control cheat sheet explains delay and loss signals, REMB versus transport-cc, Opus rate ranges and min and max bitrate settings per use case. Volume 5 covers this topic in depth: bitrate and topology decisions, jitter buffers and NetEq, loss concealment, FEC and RED, and incident analysis by symptom. Written by Nikolay Sapunov, CEO at Fora Soft.
