[Speex-dev] Noisy sound quality with Blackfin in WB-mode

Could you try mixing the encoders and decoders (encode with one version,
decode with the other) to see whether the problem is in the encoder, the
decoder or both.

A couple things worth checking: try with WB quality 5 and 8. Do both of
these have a problem (they use a different scheme). Also, with Speex,
it's possible to encode in NB and decode in WB and vice versa. Could you
try that too? With all this information, I should have a good idea of
where the problem is.

Thanks,
