[opus] Antw: AVX Optimizations in Opus

[Ulrich Windl]

Hi!

AFAIK, there are different version of AVX; maybe clarify which versions you use, and how you detect the availability of the instructions needed. Also you could point out which CPUs are expected to be supported. Also consider that besides Intel there still exists AMD ;-)

Regards,
Ulrich
