Hi,
I'd like to announce Speex beta 3:
This is the third beta for Speex, implementing what should be the last
new features before 1.0. These new features are a new "ultra-wideband"
mode for encoding at 32 kHz (up to 48 kHz) and an intensity stereo mode.
Both of these are implemented to preserve both backward and forward
compatibility with other releases. This means that it is now possible to
encode almost any wave file using Speex. Most of the work left for 1.0
is now quality improvements ragarding to VBR, perceptual enhancement and
packet-loss concealment.
You can get this new release http://www.speex.org/download.html and
there is now updated documentation on www.speex.org
Jean-Marc

Let me pass along the following words I got via email from the Debian
Installer: "Thank you for your contribution to Debian."
It is currently in http://incoming.debian.org, and in a few hours it
will move from there into the "package pool" as part of the unstable
distribution. Take a look at the compilation logs as the binary
packages get built on all architectures:
http://buildd.debian.org/build.php?pkg=speex
Packages are available in the 'testing' and 'unstable'
distributions,
however speex is not in the 'stable' distribution since much of the
development has occurred since the release of Debian 3.0.
Sometimes I also put up binary Debian packages compiled for the stable
release, Woody, in my staging area:
http://people.debian.org/~bottoms/stage/
As of now, that isn't "apt-get"-able, but if you think that woody
versions would be useful, let me know.
It might be useful on the speex downloads page to mention that Debian
packages are available. Might I suggest the following for inclusion in
http://www.speex.org/download.html:
<dt>Speex Debian packages</dt>
<dd>
<p class="releasenotes">
Debian packages are available.<br>
The speex source package supports four binary
packages: speex, libspeex, libspeex-dev and
speex-doc.
