Yes.  It didn't as of 656, but it did as of 711 and does in 767

*nix yes,
OSX sometimes,
Windows... not in IE and I don't think so in FF 3.1 maybe

They're not yet encoded as speex @ archive.org.  I've spoken to sj and the
team of Internet Archiver's that he's been working with and it seems
possible that they may re-encode their archives to provide speex as an
option.

Your ubuntu machine should already have a speex file on it.  If you still
have the Desktop-Examples package installed Ubuntu comes with a collection
of flyers and OOo documents, an Ubuntu-Sax.ogg file and a Librivox Aseop's
Fables recording in Speex.
