Correction to the text.

Section 3, first para. now reads:

   For RTP based transportation of Speex encoded audio the standard 
   RTP header [2] is followed by one or more payload data blocks. 
   An optional padding terminator may also be used.

> 
>    Speex is an open-source, patent-free voice codec suitable for use in
>    Voice over IP (VoIP) type applications.  This document describes the 
>    payload format for Speex generated bit streams within an RTP packet.  
>    Also included here are the necessary details for the use of Speex with
>    the Session Description Protocol (SDP) and a preliminary method
>    of using Speex within H.323 applications.

> 2. Overview of the Speex Codec
> 
>    Speex is based on the CELP [12] encoding technique with support for 
>    either narrowband (nominal 8kHz), wideband (nominal 16kHz) or 
>    ultra-wideband (nominal 32kHz), and (non-optimal) rates up to 48 kHz 
>    sampling also available.  The main characteristics can be summerized 
>    as follows:
> 
>    o  Free software/open-source, royalty-free
>    o  Integration of wideband and narrowband in the same bit-stream
>    o  Wide range of bit-rates available
>    o  Dynamic bit-rate switching and variable bit-rate (VBR)
>    o  Voice Activity Detection (VAD, integrated with VBR)
>    o  Variable complexity
> 
> 
> 3. RTP payload format for Speex
> 
>    For RTP based transportation of Speex encoded audio the standard 
>    RTP header [2] is followed by a four bit header block which is 
>    used to indicate the presence of one or more payload data blocks. 
>    An optional padding terminator may also be used.

>    The encoding and decoding algorithm can change the bit rate at any

>    "mode" (narrowband, wideband or ultra-wideband) and "sub-mode"
>    (bit-rate) information in the bit stream.  No out-of-band
>    notification is required for the decoder to process changes in the

>    It is RECOMMENDED that values of 8000 or 16000 be used for normal

>    the pattern of a zero, LSB aligned network byte order, followed

>    that confidentiality of the media streams is achieved by encryption.
>    Because the data compression used with this payload format is applied
>    end-to-end, encryption may be performed after compression so there is
>    no conflict between the two operations.
> 
>    A potential denial-of-service threat exists for data encodings using
>    compression techniques that have non-uniform receiver-end
>    computational load.  The attacker can inject pathological datagrams
