G.722 is free, as any patents have expired. G.722.1 and G.722.2 are not 
free. They are *much* better, though. G.722 gives quite poor 
performance. I'm not sure if that is because of poor design, and a 
desire to keep its compute needs in check. Whatever the history, looked 
at now it sucks. Vorbis or speex would be much better.
