In case you split, I really like this naming which still show that those 
projects are part of speex.

The more features you have "inside", the best "speex" is -> even if the 
feature is not directly related to the codec.

Thus, I also advise you to also keep the splitted libraries in the SAME 
archive. It's not because you split the build that you should split the 
archive and source!

In case of one archive, the process for speex maintainer and developper
will be much easier.

Tks,
