[Speex-dev] ARM7 Speex decoder

Of course. That's actually the *only* way to do it.

This is *definitely* not how you read an Ogg file.

It just tells how many bytes you want to copy in the SpeexBits struct.

I don't understand what you're doing exactly, but it's certainly not
right.

Everywhere. Look at sampledec to see how you need to decode.

There is. Most of the code is fixed-point already, there's only a
handful of float operations left, mostly in wideband. As for optimizing
for ARM7 (arch 4), you need to configure with --enable-arm4-asm.
