Why would you put a client component with the server code?

It seems to me no easier to download the file with openssim server code, 
and copy it to the correct place for the viewer to use, than to download 
it from anywhere else.

That sounds very sensible, Hippo being the Opensim friendly version of 
the Linden client.

Realxtend is free software &/ open source, you can basically use 
anything we have made here in any way you want, and it should make us 
happy 'cause that's why it was made :)

IIRC the slvoice replacement made within Rex (more than a year ago) uses 
the Speex codec, dunno if the server part is a part of modrex already or 
how it goes (haven't followed modrex too closely now, being more 
involved in the new viewer work).

Have they actually accepted patches? I haven't followed their client dev 
at all. Anyhow sounds like a good effort to try.
