[speex-dev] speex on a DSP chip?

[Matthias Granberry]

The vendor toolchain is excellent for some very specific tasks.
Unfortunately, most codecs designed for PCs fall pretty far from this.
GCC has its problems when you get away from its target architectures,
too.  I wonder if there's been any work done on statically-scheduled
VLIW architectures.  A GCC target isn't necessarily very big.  It
looks like the real task is in the C libraries.
