-# [S] Carry Opus pre-skip and gain through CMAF
-
-## Goal
-
-An Opus track imported from or exported to fMP4 keeps the pre-skip and output
-gain its `dOps` box declares, so it decodes the same as the OpusHead it came
-from.
-
-## Plan
-
-The fMP4 importer builds an Opus catalog entry from the sample entry alone and
-publishes no description, so a CMAF Opus track decodes with no pre-skip or
-gain. Build the OpusHead from `dOps` (input rate, channels, pre-skip, gain)
-with `moq_mux::codec::opus::Config` and publish it as the description. The
-exporter writes `dOps.output_gain` as 0; take it from the parsed head like the
-pre-skip. Refuse a `dOps` channel mapping family other than 0 if `mp4-atom`
-exposes one, rather than dropping its table.
-
-Regression: an fMP4 Opus fixture with nonzero pre-skip and gain round-trips
-through import and export with both preserved.

+# [S] Carry surround Opus through CMAF

+An fMP4 Opus track whose `dOps` declares channel mapping family 1 imports with

+Build the head from the `dOps` family and table with `opus::Mapping` on import,
+and write the table from the parsed head on export in place of the
+`UnsupportedMappingFamily` refusal in `synthesize_audio_trak`. Keep refusing
+families the head cannot describe.

+# [XS] js/hang dOps without an invented pre-skip
+
+## Goal
+
+`js/hang` CMAF encoding stops writing a hard-coded 312-sample pre-skip into
+`dOps` when the track has no description, so a remuxed track never trims audio
+its encoder did not ask to trim.
+
+## Plan
+
+Without an OpusHead there is no known pre-skip; write 0 or refuse, whichever
+matches how the Rust exporter (`synthesize_audio_trak`) handles the same case.

+# [S] mp4-atom dOps channel mapping
+
+## Goal
+
+A released `mp4-atom` decodes and encodes a `dOps` box with any channel mapping
+family, exposing the family and its table (stream count, coupled count, and the
+per-channel mapping) instead of refusing a nonzero family. This repository
+bumps to that release.
+
+## Plan
+
+The work lands in kixelated/mp4-atom. Validate the table against the output
+channel count on decode rather than trusting it, and keep family 0 encoding
+byte-identical. The bump here is a separate, small step once the release
+ships.

+# [XS] Opus catalog rate matches the decoder
+
+## Goal
+
+MKV Opus import publishes the codec rate (48 kHz) as the catalog sample rate,
+not the OpusHead input rate, which is informational. The catalog describes
+what the decoder outputs.
+
+## Plan
+
+fMP4 import already does this. Check the other importers that build the
+catalog from an OpusHead (FLV and the raw Opus import look similar) and align
+them in the same PR. The OpusHead description keeps the input rate.
+
+Regression: a 44.1 kHz-input OpusHead imports with a 48 kHz catalog rate.
