Well, I haven't found and open-source perceptual testing software, so
I've relied so far mostly on listening and SNR/segmental SNR. 

If anyone has access to this kind of software, I'm interested to
comparisons between different versions of Speex, mostly 0.4.0, 0.6.0,
0.7.0 and rc2. Even for those who only have their own ears, I'm
interested on comments about possible regressions, mostly for the 8 kbps
mode (--quality 4 setting or --lbr for version 0.4.0).
