+                                                   For best backwards compatibility, it is recommended to encode with implicit SBR signaling.

+                                                   audio will sound band-limited.
+
+                                                   For MPEG-2 transport types (ADTS,ADIF), only implicit signaling is possible.
+
+                                                   For LOAS and LATM, explicit backwards compatible signaling only works together with AudioMuxVersion==1.
+                                                   The reason is that, for explicit backwards compatible signaling, additional information will be appended to the ASC.
+                                                   A decoder that is only capable of decoding AAC-LC will skip this part.
+                                                   Nevertheless, for jumping to the end of the ASC, it needs to know the ASC length.
+                                                   Transmitting the length of the ASC is a feature of AudioMuxVersion==1, it is not possible to transmit the
+                                                   length of the ASC with AudioMuxVersion==0, therefore an AAC-LC-only decoder will not be able to parse a
+                                                   LOAS/LATM stream that was being encoded with AudioMuxVersion==0.
+
+                                                   For downsampled SBR, explicit signaling is mandatory. The reason for this is that the
+                                                   extension sampling frequency (which is in case of SBR the sampling frequqncy of the SBR part)
+                                                   can only be signaled in explicit mode.
+
+                                                   For AAC-ELD, the SBR information is transmitted in the ELDSpecific Config, which is part of the
+                                                   AudioSpecificConfig. Therefore, the settings here will have no effect on AAC-ELD.*/
