[speex-dev] decoder give me values over 32000!

[Manuel Molina Rojas]

I think there is a problem.  If we are coding   PCM 16 mono, then, when  
we decode  the  samples  we should obtain PCM 16 mono again, but wave 
data over 16bits is extracted from the decoder.  If the input level is 
reduced we could loss wave information.

Thanks for your help
