mp3 to speex

[peasthope@shaw.ca]

Can speex be used to represent a recording which is mostly voice 
but has some non-voice sound?

In this experiment the intention is to retrieve the stream by http, 
send PCM to stdout, pipe that to speexenc and save as a *.spx file.  

peter@dalton:~$ vlc --demuxdump-file=- \
http://www.cbc.ca/quirks/media/2011-2012/qq-2012-01-21.mp3 \
 | speexenc qq-2012-01-21.spx

Syntax corrections?

Thanks,            ... Peter E.
