 I beg to differ.
 I used the same format for recording as above and saved it to a WAV file.
 Then I encoded the WAV file using the Speex command line encoder.
 I then decoded the generated speex file using the Speex command line
 decoder and found that the newly decoded sample and the original one was
 nearly the same. I repeat I had used the same wave format as above.
 How is this possible?
