I thought this might be interesting to you, it's an extract from the latest streaming media newsletter, I was intrested to note that MS are claiming cd quality audio at 48kbps whichi is obviously very low, I didn't think much of it at first because nobody uses MS codecs for audio anyway! However (a bit I missed off this quote by the look of it) I then read mention of portable audio players

I was wondering how vorbis fares as a speech codec? I mean can it give similar or better quality as GSM/Toast at the same kind of bitrates/filesize? I'm not worried about streaming but I'd love to be able to create really small voice files.

Once something is in the public domain, nobody
