People have ported it to the TI C5x dsp, and at least some of the 
changes have been merged into the development tree. Check the list
archives for details.

However, AFAIK those were straight ports. To run on the omap, with 
gstreamer itself presumedly running on the ARM side will require some
code changes. Basically you have to compile the speex codec as a 
separate module to load into the DSP and then modify the speex plugin
to send it buffers instead of doing the decode directly.

I guess that could be done either as a from-scratch plugin or as a 
modification, depending on your programming style.

If you get this working and can release the source, I'd really like
to see it. Would be wonderful to have DSP speex running on my Nokia 770.
