I know speex has been suggested on several occasions and Niel's has said he would be taking a look into it once RC2 was released. Well, I can't think of a better time to study and impliment speex now that the bitstream format has been frozen!
Speex is based on CELP and is designed to compress voice at bitrates ranging from 2 to 44 kbps. Some of Speex’s features include:
Narrowband (8 kHz), wideband (16 kHz), and ultra-wideband (32 kHz) compression in the same bitstream
Intensity stereo encoding
Packet loss concealment
Variable bitrate operation (VBR)
Voice Activity Detection (VAD)
Discontinuous Transmission (DTX)
With the ability to run at 44kbps, I think speex should be able to satisfy those who have been requesting a higher quality codec?... There are audio quality samples up at http://www.speex.org/audio/samples/
