+How does Speex compare to other proprietary codecs?
+\layout Standard
+
+It's hard to give precise figures since no formal listening tests have been
+ performed yet.
+ All I can say is that in terms of quality, Speex competes on the same ground
+ as other proprietary (not necessarily the best, but not the worst either).
+ Speex also has many features that are not present in most other codecs.
+ These include variable bit-rate (VBR), integration of narrowband and wideband,
+ as well as stereo support.
+ Of course, another area where Speex is really hard to beat is the quality/price
+ ratio.
+ Unlike many very expensive codecs, Speex is free and anyone may distribute/modi
+fy it at will.
