This is misrepresenting the issue.  Speex sounds _very_ nice imho --
_on speech_.  It's not good on general audio (like, music).  Vorbis on
the other hand does a lousy job of speech (if you look at quality/compression
ratio).  I think Speex will do a better job than Vorbis for a capella
_at very low bitrates_.  But you will hear artifacts.  So better use Vorbis.
