[Speex-dev] Cpu bandwidth for Speex on Win32 platforms

[Jay Huang]

Hi,  Matthias:

Thanks your quick reply.

My current speex setting is :

sample_rate = 8000;    // hardware sample_rate also matches 8000 hz
complexity=2;        // for encoder

Is there anything I can try? 

By the way, how can I know the version number of my speex source code? 
Is there a CVS repository that I can access?

thanks,

Jay
