I seem to recall that the early versions of Mumble that I used defaulted to using Speex. I seem to remember it sounding sort of like "a so-so cellphone connection", sort of like the person(s) on the other side sounded like they might be slightly underwater. i.e. "works but not great", whereas CELT sounds very clear [as does Opus]. I can't be positive about this though because I might be mixing this memory up with my memories of other VoIP packages I've used over the years, so I'm likewise curious to hear what Speex sounds like again. -- Chris -- Chris Knadle chris.kna...@coredump.us -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
