I had a related question. I'm working with a VLIW/SIMD DSP 
(http://equator.com/productsservices/pdf/BSP-15.pdf), and for some time 
have been considering a port of Speex (as an alternative to our current 
64 kbps wideband audio codec). What could you say about portability of 
Speex to such an architecture (several execution units, a lot of wide 
registers, many SIMD instructions)?
