Sorry but I disagree. I am using SPEEX and voice quality is much better 
than GSM and it consumes less bandwidth. Using Speex and Linux is  just 
a "make; make install".
Although, we MUST encourage OpenSource initiatives or we will pay 
Licenses forever. Take a look at G.723 or G.729, for example. ITU 
released this protocols many years ago and we still have to pay 
royalties. About this kind of license there is another thread talking 
about...
