June 2026 monthly summary for ossrs/ffmpeg-webrtc. Focused feature delivery enhancing AIFF handling: AIFF Channel Configuration Handling in FFmpeg writes CHAN chunk immediately after the COMM chunk to ensure decoders correctly interpret the AIFF channel count, improving reliability of AIFF decoding in FFmpeg-based pipelines. No major bug fixes reported this month. Overall impact: improved audio file handling, better interoperability with downstream decoders, and strengthened encoding paths. Technologies/skills demonstrated: FFmpeg internals, AIFF encoding path, CHAN/COMM chunk handling, C programming, AVFormat API, git commits and traceability.
