When opening a Speex file within an Ogg container with the extension .spx  I 
get this message:

-----
The filename "test.spx" indicates that this file is of type "Speex audio". The 
contents of the file indicate that the file is of 
type "Ogg Speex audio". If you open this file, the file might present a 
security risk to your system.

Do not open the file unless you created the file yourself, or received the file 
from a trusted source. To open the file, rename 
the file to the correct extension for "Ogg Speex audio", then open the file 
normally. Alternatively, use the Open With menu to 
choose a specific application for the file.

Changing the extension to .ogg or .oga fixes this, however that is not 
recommended by the Xiph Wiki 
(http://wiki.xiph.org/index.php/MIME_Types_and_File_Extensions). There you can 
read the following:

* .ogg applies now for Vorbis I files only

* Vorbis and Speex may use .oga, but it is not the prefered method of 
distributing these files because of backwards-compatibility 
issues.

* .spx has traditionally been used for Speex files within Ogg and should be 
considered for backwards-compatibility

And the speexenc manual uses .spx as extension in the output example. So the 
prefered extension for Speex within an 
ogg container is .spx and it should be recognized.
