[Speex-dev] reducing latency?

[Tyler Spivey]

How can I reduce latency on the following?
arecord -r22050 -c2 -fs16_le | speexenc - - | speexdec -
I have no coding experience in C, so can't write my own stdin/stdout
wrapper. this is just an echo test, but it's severely lagged. the
mailing list posts on this subject didn't give a solution.
I used this over ssh, and managed to have a usable conversation with
someone, accept for the lag which eliminating from the echo test would
help somewhat.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Tyler
