P.862). Major new items: 1) Superwideband speech (max 14 kHz audio bandwith) 2) Impact of a wide range of new types of distortions 3) Impact of global play back level Some of my recent work contains new ideas, see references below.

Also, if anyone knows the latest plans of the ITU on this topic I would be most grateful if that information could be passed on. Thanks in advance.
