 Now, what we need is the audio-equivalent of this:

That's really cool, and seems so obvious in retrospect.

It would have to be limited to video, the filing date is 2009 and this was 
presented at SIGGRAPH 2007. Jesus fuck, and they even *reference* that prior 
art in the very first Other References!!

Gee, I wonder what douchebag owns this patent? Oh look, it's Don't Be Evil 
Google...Why am I not remotely surprised? (Hint: publically traded 
corporation together with don't be evil is complete fucking 
contradiction, by their very definitions. Always has been, always will be.)
