Would it get better if a "straight" codec were used?  I.e., one that
does full 8KBps (I think that's either ALAW or ULAW).  In other words,
bandwidth usage would obviously increase over a codec like GSM, but
would the lag be reduced because no translation has to be done at all,
just send it to the audio device, no (de)compression, etc.?
