Yeah, my sample rates are quite flexible.

Ah, then I'll make sure to stay with multiples of 48KHz.  I was 
scratching my head how I was going to deal with 44.1KHz, but now I don't 
have to.  That's a bonus.

Should I be using a different repository than I currently am?  I'd hate 
to make patches/changes on a dead repository.

I pulled with:
git clone git://git.xiph.org/celt.git

Yeah, I'm that crazy. :)

First up is figuring out how to preallocate all of the RAM I will need. 
  After that, I need to put a profiler on this and see where time is 
being spent.
