Ah, OK! No, it wasn't curl that was missing, but I think the way it
was phrased confused me. It says:

"Download the Opus codec from Digium.  See
http://downloads.digium.com/pub/telephony/codec_opus/README.
Depends on: xmlstarlet(E), bash(E), res_format_attr_opus(M)
Support Level: external"

However, while I managed to apt install xmlstarlet, I already had
bash, and I can't find res_format_attr_opus.

Any ideas? Many thanks,

Jonathan
