did domeone say........ GSM? :)

GSM doesn voice quality over 14.4k - its an open standard - thess
routines and code to do encoding/decoding on sunsite
utility called "toast" and "untoast"

if you up the bandwidht to lets say to 256kbit or 512kbit it probably
will soudn pretty close to Cd quality :) but GSM is an option.
