why does CS:S only come packaged with the miles (aka low quality voice codec) codec?

Gabe Newell said that Hl2 would use a better voice codec than that of HL1's... (and hl1's best is voice_speex)...

so what happened to it?
mind you Im not complaining, Im merely curious.. some servers have assumed that voice_speex was packaged with CS:S and have it setup as default in their configs... this leads to the "I have to hit esc, and re-apply my controls to make my mic function" bug. (at least thats what it seems to come from)

the codec in cs:s is called vaudio_miles, however I double checked and there are no others.

anywhoo.. was just wondering if anyone knew anything.. or I missed something.

also since CS:S is hl2's multiplayer component, and we supposedly have the final versions (non-beta) please please please dont leave any
"lols nub it will come in teh patchez" or "it will come with the release of HL2" statements.

:)
 
OK since I can't say "wait for teh patch u nooob".....

All I've got to say is this - NO, it won't be fixed in a patch, suffer biatch ;)

Seriously tho- I haven't had any probs with the voice guff myself (also true that things don't seem a great deal different to 1.6, as there are still a load of mumblers and whatnot), I use the voice most rounds and people seem to get my drift. (Never had to esc out to reapply settings - then again I don't stray away from my fav servers...I might try and get adventurous later; see what the score is on a wider selection of servers)
