Well there's a (non-applet) Java implementation. Otherwise, I don't have
such code, but maybe someone on the list does.

Well, it all depends on the bandwidth you can afford. 4 kbps is really
the minimal rate. I suggest using more than that if you can afford
(ideally 8, 11 or 15 kbps). If you have even more bandwidth, you can go
wideband (16 kHz) and get much better quality.

Depends on your application, but such a large delay will likely cause
problems in conversations (you it takes twice the delay to hear the
answer to your question).

Whenever you need to play a packet that hasn't arrived yet, just call
the decode function (speex_decode) with NULL as the "bits" argument.

I guess you'll find out when you get there ;)

Anyone on the list?
