Let me guess:
- "We need a codec that we can build voip applications directly in the 
browser."
- "Well we have Nellymoser doesn't that do ?"
- "Get real, next idea."
- "Well we could license amr, it seems popular."
- "But that costs money. We don't have any left all went into the flash 
for linux project."
- "Hmm, what about this speex stuff, it's free and supports lots of 
features."
- "Totally free? Well I guess we can afford that."
