[Speex-dev] DTX mode using preprocessor?

[Jean-Marc Valin]

Hi,

It could (and should) definitely be done, but it's somewhere
(unfortunately not on top) on my TODO list. I think the simplest way
(until I really integrate the preprocessor with the codec, which will
take a while) to do it is to add a speex_encoder_ctl() call as you
proposed. I'd call it SPEEX_SET_EXT_VAD_STATUS and I'm willing to merge
a patch :-)
