Then you can remove all of the decoder. As for the encoder, it depends
on the bitrate and sampling rate you want (more below).

Sounds like a job for SILK-only mode. In which case you can strip away
all of CELT.

This is going to be a problem. Assuming you mean 8 mega*byte* (and not 8
megabit), that's still only 2 kilobit/second. Opus pretty much requires
8 kb/s, so 4 times what you have. The only codec I know that can do 2
kb/s with reasonable quality is codec2, and the implementation is
floating point.

Yes. The normal API has calls with both int and float, so if you compile
with FIXED_POINT, the float calls do a conversion to int before using
int internally. If you disable the float API, these functions are not
compiled at all, saving a few bytes.
