Speex dev - Aug 2004 - Another miscellaneous question about applicability

Not that I'm going to be doing this, but just out of curiosity, how well
would speex perform for singing?  I don't know if speex is specialized to
the human voice, or the normal low-stress human voice.  Does speex'
performance change when dealing with shouting, etc?  Have you ever tried
jazz scat, or anything like that, cat?

Just wondering.

Not that I have tried it, but my gut feeling (erm, "experience" sounds
better, doesn't it?) tells me that female voices would sound fine, but
male singing wouldn't.

Just FWIW, I'd like to hear experimental results,

I have no idea how Speex performs on singing or shouting, but I'd be
really curious to know if you want to test that.

Funny, my experience tells me the opposite (because the closer the
harmonics, the more they mask noise). I guess we'll definitely need to
experiment :)
