[Speex-dev] Re: compatibility issues.

[ALEX NG]

I plan to setup linux server  and in client side, XP and Linux.
Also, in order to collect the voice, I plan to use portaudio to collect, say 
20ms as you suggested sample and feed to the speex encoder.  For easier 
implementation, I don't use OGG container, and just encode then send to the 
spread network to the client.
Hope this work.  Can you advise any potential problems by this approach?
Thanks
