No, it's not a requirement. The actual memory usage should be much
lower than that.

This only happens in any case if libcelt is compiled in pseudostack
mode. If you instead compile for use with C99 var arrays (or alloca)
then it doesn't do that.

I also think that there are a number of places where the peak stack
usage is much more than strictly required, The MDCT comes to mind.
