Skype's codec (SILK) is superior to the ones listed for WebRTC.
Mumble's current codec (old version of CELT) is competitive and possibly better.
SILK was open sourced a while ago, and was combined with CELT to make the Opus voice codec, which is best-of-class and is even competitive with codecs like AAC for music compression. I suppose any client who wants to could adopt it, but none have yet.
Thanks for this info. In a another side project I'm working on video transcoding and (at this point) WebM. I'm still learning and it appears I need to familiarize myself with the lower level details of both video codecs and codecs for this sort of live calling, I'll have to check out Mumble/SILK. thanks.
