For what it's worth, I've settled on speex. It provides *excellent*
quality, and very good bandwidth usage. It does have a few rough edges
and doesn't work perfectly in Asterisk, but for personal use I find it
just fine.

I guess it could be problematic for larger installations, as it requires
quite a bit of CPU time.

I find it funny I've chosen a free codec over a commercial one even
though money was not really an issue.
