[opus] Confusion on CELT or Silk

Hello Joshua,

I understand. My main aim to first understand the processing overhead when
decisions have to be made for a fixed audio in signal, reduce it so that I
can then begin making an update to reduce the memory (on chip flash and
RAM) footprint.

Thanks
Amit
