Hi people Just wondered what your thoughts are on Microsoft's RTAudio codec that they use in their Unified Communications stuff: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=5D79B584-79C9-42A8-90C4-4AB3F03D19C4&displaylang=en They let people license it to use in their own products.

Hello Ivo: One more from me and I suppose a retort by you and that's it ... no flame war please. Let's see if we can keep this discussion objective. I've had enough life experience to have seen and heard the mistakes you've made many times. Point by point: * This is a tech list that I joined a number of years ago because of a serious intent to use the Speex product in my
