Comment(by ocrete):

 You don't want to do that:

 1. Codecs like speex do it automatically for you and produce CN, but you
 have to keep giving the encoder packets so it can do its magic
 2. you want to be careful about silence supression because of Wiress MM
 extensions... if you wireless card and router support that you will not
 get incoming packets fast enough unless you keep on sending
 3. If you do silence suppression without CN, then you will hear a "click"
 or a "pop" every time you start/stop sending and it degrades the perceived
 voice quality quite a bit
 4. Voice is really low bandwidth anyway and its only the maximum bandwidth
 that matters
