How to play speex encoded audio in Flash player?

Question

I am able to record sound from microphone, encode it using SPEEX and write into ByteArray. I want to play it back. If I try using Sound object the audio is messed up. Speex uses 16kHz for encoding and Sound Object needs 44.1kHz for playing audio. How am I supposed to play this encoded sound.

Please help!!

I voted to close because I feel your question is already sufficiently answered on that other post. You, basically, need an ActionScript codec for SPEEX to play it back. — JeffryHouser, Mar 22 '11 at 11:36
Adobe claims that they support Speex codec in recent versions of Flash Player. Why should I use an external ActionScript code for Speex codec?! — pat, Mar 22 '11 at 12:41
Thanks Jeffry for your comment, but I don't find my solution. — pat, Mar 22 '11 at 12:47

Is this a browser or Air based application?

The reason I ask is because Speex is only playable through an FLV container. It's a one way encode that is made to be streamed through a media player like FMS or Wowza. Here's what you need to do for both cases.

If browser based There's no way to playing it locally. You're going to have to stream it to a media server which then returns an FLV file for you to play on the client.

If Air based You can wrap the speex audio into an FLV container and play it locally. Use this library to write the FLV locally: http://www.zeropointnine.com/blog/simpleflvwriteras-as3-class-to-create-flvs/

Thanks a lot.. :) Mine is a browser based application. – pat Mar 23 '11 at 05:00 — pat, Mar 23 '11 at 05:00
