Well there's a (non-applet) Java implementation. Otherwise, I don't have
such code, but maybe someone on the list does.

Well, it all depends on the bandwidth you can afford. 4 kbps is really
the minimal rate. I suggest using more than that if you can afford
(ideally 8, 11 or 15 kbps). If you have even more bandwidth, you can go
wideband (16 kHz) and get much better quality.

Depends on your application, but such a large delay will likely cause
problems in conversations (you it takes twice the delay to hear the
answer to your question).

Whenever you need to play a packet that hasn't arrived yet, just call
the decode function (speex_decode) with NULL as the "bits" argument.

I guess you'll find out when you get there ;)

Anyone on the list?

Hi:

   I am new to speex and I am evaluating the possibility of using
Speex for web conferencing (pretty big scale).  It looks very promising.

   I have some questions, maybe very naive, but please help me:

<p>   1) Is there any sample implementation using Speex in web conerencing
      in voice?  To be more specific, in Windows platforms?  (ActiveX? 
      Java applet implementation?)

   2) What is the recomended bandwidth?  4kbs (in one way)?  2 kbs?
      (The shown samples sound pretty good at 4kbs.)

   3) What is the recomended buffer?  1 second or 2 seconds?

   4) What would happen if sound packets are dropped (time shift
      in different computer clock speeds)?  What if some
      packet holes have to be filled?  (repeating the previous packet?)

   5) Any otther issues that I should pay attention to?

   6) Anybody did it and I can learn from?

   Thanks.
