Right now I can choose from 2 implementations (with a #define).

a) one that uses 64 bit intermediate results

b) one that restricts itself to 32 bit precision on intermediates. However
   the two factors going into the multiplications will be normalized (with
   right shifts) such that the intermediate cannot overflow.

Interestingly enough, there is no significant difference in performance
(SNR) when switching between a) and b).

Thanks, that might be very helpful.
