Self-supervised learning (SSL) countermeasures (CMs) have shown strong performance in recent years. However, they often show degraded performance while facing unseen spoofing attacks and mismatched conditions. This study examines the Voxtral audio-language model (ALM) framework for spoofing detection, as a step toward combining CM capabilities within the ALM framework. We analyze how Voxtral captures spoofing cues through audio-text processing and propose an instruction-guided approach that uses label-sequence likelihoods to evaluate bonafide and spoofed speech. Experiments on the ASVspoof databases show that without task-specific adaptation, the LLM layers emphasize semantic representations, reducing the separability of spoof-discriminative acoustic cues compared to the Whisper-based audio encoder. Consequently, spoofing-related information becomes less separable after language-model processing. We also applied lightweight adaptation using weight-decomposed low-rank adaptation (DoRA) to the Voxtral model and propose the Spooftral model, achieving an equal error rate (EER) of 4.25% on the ASVspoof5 evaluation set.
