[CELT-dev] CELT grabbing 100KB of memory right off the top

[Timothy B. Terriberry]

> Is there a particular reason why CELT grabs 100KB of stack immediately?

You'd be much better off using C99 vararrays, or alloca, if either of 
those are available, rather than the global stack (which is purely there 
as a fallback).

I don't think anywhere near 100 kB is required. The exact maximum 
depends on the mode/frame size, but we haven't gone through and measured 
the worst case lately. Even that could probably be substantially 
reduced: for example the MDCT uses a lot of temporary buffers, when it 
could be made to operate entirely in-place, if necessary.
