[Soekris] CPU Utilization with Speex codec

[Gabriel Ruiz]

The thing is that I was experimenting with an audio stream from a radio 
source and I wanted to leverage the wideband capabilities of speex as 
well as the ability to stream in stereo. I was not using asterisk; I was 
using ihi which is a basic voip softphone. I guess I 'll have to try a 
different codec.

Thanks
