Hello, speexers. I'm new to the list and new to audio compression. I've been asked to look into creating a digital archive of 20-minute speeches (sermons) and speex seems to be what I need. My experience is in image compression; I shepherded gzip, deflate, zlib, and png through the IETF process, put "image/png" through the IANA registration process, and I maintain several projects at SourceForge (libpng, pngcrush, imagemagick, etc.) and could help out in any of those areas if you like. BTW I was gratified to note that the Speex parrot is in PNG format #:-) Glenn R-P
Hi, Glenn, I'm a Podcaster, and I picked up using speex because it allowed a few people who did not have broadband to stream my podcasts. I find it is a great system, but not my most popular download. I would recommend use with one or two more popular formats to cover all bases. Welcome aboard!

One thing that jumped out at me was the requirement to use the BSD license, which some people might find overly restrictive. Perhaps it would be better to just require an OSI-approved open source license. Glenn
