[Speex-dev] A question about speex_bits_write function

[Jean-Marc Valin]

The last argument should simply be the size of your own buffer, i.e.
it's there to make sure there's no buffer overflow and that's it. If you
know that at the bit rate you're using the output is 20 bytes, then you
can choose to allocate a 20-byte buffer and let speex_bits_write() know
that. Same idea as e.g. strncpy(), which is safer than strcpy().
