Is Android a Java application?  Because if it's not, you should use
the official C library instead of JSpeex.  You can find more details
at  //speex.org

Android provides Java SDKs, but the underlying media libraries are in C/C++:
http://code.google.com/android/what-is-android.html

The M5 release contains support for Ogg Vorbis (.ogg):
http://code.google.com/android/migrating/m3-to-m5/m5-api-changes.html#media

so perhaps patching the build to include libspeex is not technically
difficult. Of course it'd make more sense to access libspeex through
VoIP apps than just through the generic MediaPlayer interface.

cheers,

Conrad.

Even if they included Speex support, the Android media API is very 
limited, as it can only access audio from a file or an HTTP URL. I 
raised a bug against Android that the JavaSound API is not working (it 
is documented though), but it was closed with the explanation that the 
JavaSound API will not be implemented. JavaSound would have offered a 
possibility to play software-synthesized PCM data, e.g. the output from 
JSpeex and access recorded PCM data for speex encoding, but this option 
seem to be "dead" now.
