Description:
Speak Freely is a Cross Platform Internet telephony (Voice Chat) application which provides high quality voice grade audio with GSM, ADPCM, LPC, LPC-10 and CELP compression and encryption with DES, Blowfish, and IDEA ciphers, limited PGP encryption capabilities. It will aim at interoperating with any RTP client. Linux, Mac OS and Windows versions allow for cross platform communications.
It allows two or more people to conduct a real-time voice conference over the Internet or any other TCP/IP network.
No exchange server needed - can talk directly to to IP numbers.

Speak Freely can also be used for Streaming Audio directly between PCs.

The Speex project is aimed at providing an open-source low-bitrate speech codec to complement the vorbis music encoder. It offers good voice reproduction down to 8kbps, and even lower with it's variable bit-rate options. In addition, it has a number of attractive qualities for telephony applications:

    * Designed for handling lost voice packets, and includes extrapolation code.
    * Decoder can handle frame bit-rate changes on a frame-by-frame basis. This allows easy incorporation of low bit-rate redundancy information into the packets.

The Speex codec is already in the Ubuntu Packages.

Also, can backports be made for other currently supported versions of ubuntu?
