If your problem is people using IE, then you could try VLC, it's got a version
which runs on IE, embedded. This should support Speex just fine, though it's
a heavyweight solution.
Cortado could support Speex if a decoder was written in Java as a Cortado
plugin. But this does not exist at the moment AFAIK.
