Have a look at Opus, another free audio codec that provides lower latency (~22ms) and better quality than Vorbis.

It also scales down to low-bitrate speech, but I doubt you need that for your application.

Yup - we are actually using webRTC under the covers for video/audio RTP and webRTC itself uses Opus (or recommends) so we'll probably be switching to that for audio chat when we go that route. Thanks!

Do you have experience in using Opus for something else than speech? I'm currently in a project that deals with audio streaming and I've been exploring my options. Would love to hear about your thoughts!
