[Speex-dev] DTX mode using preprocessor?

That one's easy. In jitter.c, you have 

if (jitter->lost_count>=25)
{
   jitter->lost_count = 0;
   jitter->reset_state = 1;
   speex_decoder_ctl(jitter->dec, SPEEX_RESET_STATE, NULL);
}

What it does is that if the jitter buffer hasn't been able to play any
of the last 25 frames, it assumes that something's wrong with the
communication and it needs to reset everything. The quick solution is
probably just to make that value higher or remove it. A better solution
would be to distinguish between late and lost packets. The reset should
only occur if all the packets are late.
