Quite the contrary.

If Speex means you require faster, more capable DSPs, you are going to
continue paying for them per unit.  At $1.6mil you stop paying for
G.729 licenses (basically a fixed cost at that point, regardless of
volume or quantity).

I'm sure most of the big guys paying for G.729 have no problem with that.

I love OSS and Speex as much as any of us; I'm just trying to play
devil's advocate and attempt to explain some of the strategy from
those continuing to pay for G.729...
