I don't have access to the firewall, so am stuck. I'm using these
strings to chat over ssh:
./srec | ssh user at host speexdec -
and in another console:
ssh user at host ./srec | speexdec -
Where srec is a script containing:
arecord -r32000 -c2 -fs16_le - | speexenc - -
I've noticed that even ./srec | speexdec - on the localhost generates
about 3 or 4 seconds of lag right there. Even removing the buffer in
speexdec didn't help - for they weren't designed to run over pipes.
