This isn't strictly true: the protocol used by Progressive's
RealAudio is publically available:

 | This program implements the 16 kb/s Low-Delay CELP algorithm.
 | (ITU-T Recommendation G.728)

Try searching for an archive called `ld-celp'.  Admittedly, I'm

RealAudio uses, but I've certainly heard of it being used to play
