[Speex-dev] Size of each block in a circular buffer and the sample rate

It's in samples, regardless of whether you use floats or shorts.

The only thing Speex does with the sampling rate is compute the final
bit-rate it corresponds to. If you use a "nominal" bit-rate (8 kHz for
narrowband, 16 kHz for wideband, ...), which I strongly recommend, you
don't even need to call this.
