Hugues Pisapia and Marc Gimpel have posted JSpeex 0.9.5, an open source "Java port of the Speex speech codec (Open Source/Free Software patent-free audio compression format designed for speech). It provides both the decoder and the encoder in pure Java, as well as a JavaSound SPI." 0.9.5 is a bug fix release. JSpeex is published under a BSD license.
