I tried gsm-toast, but it sounds awfully when i put music through it. Some mpeg will be fine, but the compression speed is bad, or so i think after seeing 8hz how it converts a 52 seconds wav during 4 minutes and a half!!! (this was on a PII 233). This could not be real-time! I need this thing in order to transmit *music* over a 33.6 kbps connection, at the best quality possible. I tried netstreamer, but at 16 kHz sampling ratio still sounds not so well. Any suggestions? Florin Andrei
