[Speex-dev] Does VAD/DTX work without VBR and Preprocessor

Yes. The VAD in preprocess.c is an "external" (independent from the
encoder) VAD.

This means that you can enable VAD and not VBR. However, the VAD code is
actually a special case of VBR.

If you remove the VBR code, you can't use the VAD anymore. I *think* you
can remove the ABR code, though. Of course, you can also remove
VAD/VBR/ABR/DTX altogether and the encoder will still work.
