Isn't it better to drop spice completely rather than shipping a version
thats essentially protocol incompatible? (Well, it will fall back to no
audio or non-compressed audio, but that is untested and pretty bad for
actual use of spice.) 

Then users that want to use spice can get a working version somewhere
else instead of just thinking that spice sucks because of this change.
