[speex-dev] Fixed-point in CVS

[Chris Flerackers]

Hi,

Is there any speed advantage to using the fixed point version on a PC with
an Intel or AMD processor?
An advantage would be that you don't have to convert the audio input from
short to float but what about
encoding/decoding itself?

BTW, thanks for a great codec :-)

Best regards,
Chris
