The problem with re-enabling speex is that it will not solve the communication issue, except under very special circumstances. That codec was only used in low-bandwidth situations, when a client or the server limits bandwidth to ≤32Kb/s, and is not part of the codec selection mechanism. That means a client can not advertise speex-only support. Any "mainstream" client will still use the baseline codec, a higher CELT version, or Opus, if the bandwidth permits. Due to the baseline assumption, speex-only clients would again be unable to listen (they would be able to talk though, but I'm not sure that kind of one-way communication helps anyone). Effectively, it would cause a very similar problem, just with a slightly different technical background.
