Have you measured the time taken to transfer a data packet from kernel to 
user space? Have you measured the time taken to encode that packet? What
are those measurements?

If you haven't performed those measurements, putting the Speex encoder
in the kernel is probably a pointless exercise because I would be very
surprised if the packet encoding time is less than 100 times greater 
than the time to transfer the packet from kernel to user space.
