The VoIPToday blog has an article about a new free codec with some pretty impressive statistics - near G711 quality with 16kbps.

Excerpt from the article:

Broadcom launches a new codec open source. BV codec was designed from the ground up to be optimized for voice transmission over IP networks. The main design goal of BroadVoice was to make the coding delay and codec complexity as low as possible while maintaining output speech quality as close to transparent as possible.
