Adding transcoding support for the speex audio codec

Hello,

some "desktop broadcasting programs" such as XSplit use speex as an audio codec. While support for speex seems to be lacking on most of the televisions (and at least my Samsung D6 does not play it), ffmpeg seems to be able to convert it just fine. So the only thing that seems to be missing is a conversion rule in profiles.xml in order to get the speex audio codec supported. I would appreciate if that could be added to Serviio.

Thanks

Here is some more info:

Servio (Zip) have to add "libspeex" on audio codec matching to support transcoding. Add a ticket.

Will do. This might take some more time however. Sorry, should have done this earlier.

Edit: Sent you the URL of the sample file via PM.
