You're going to have a different but equally insurmountable problem. Speex
is a CELP-based codec. The LP stands for "Linear Prediction", which means
that each frame depends on the history of frames that came before it. This
in turn means that you can't rearrange frames without introducing artifacts.

By the way, you're not saying what kind of audio you're planning to encode,
so it should be noted that Speex is purely designed to encode human speech.
It's very good at that, but It will perform poorly if you try to encode
music or other sounds with it.
