Hi Marc,
thanks for the quick reply.

Yes, it can recieve data from the underlying input stream.
If i read directly from the audioinputstream with

auin=new AudioInputStream(t.input);
//int n=pcm2speex.read(frame, 0, frame.length);
int n=auin.read(frame, 0, frame.length);

i can read the specified frame length of bytes repetively. What else 
could be the cause for blocking? I am really glad about every hint!

what about piping the input streams? can't i manually read 640 samples 
from my AudioInputStream (which works) and hand them to a pipe 
(PipedInputStream connected with an PipedOutputStream) which ends in an 
InputStream in the Pcm2Speex constructor?

that's interesting ... i have to look into this, but am not really that 
familiar with SPI ... more with Swing and user interfaces ;-)

I attached my TestClient.java, maybe it's of help ... Just press 'join' 
if you actually start it ...

best regards,
