+celt051 (low delay audio codec - version 0.5.1.x)
+
+CELT is a very low delay audio codec designed for high-quality
+communications. Traditional full-bandwidth codecs such as Vorbis and
+AAC can offer high quality but they require codec delays of hundreds
+of milliseconds, which makes them unsuitable for real-time
+interactive applications like teleconferencing. Speech targeted
+codecs, such as Speex or G.722, have lower 20-40ms delays but their
+speech focus and limited sampling rates restricts their quality,
+especially for music.
+
+celt051 is a parallel-installable (older) version of the celt codec.
