Indeed.  For some reason I decided to debug an optimized build, which for some
reason was showing order being off by a factor of 4.  Thus it appeared that
order%4 == 0 in that case, when actually it wasn't.  Needless to say I've
turned off optimization for the time being, which I should have done earlier.

It isn't, and I'm currently doing just that.

You mean copying them into a local array in read_subframe_lpc_(), right?  I'd
still have to manually align that array, though, or am I missing something?

Good idea.

Cpocuba, or however that would approximate in Roman letters :) .
