[Speex-dev] did I screw up encode?

That's what revision control systems are for (you are using one,
right?). Using git-bisect has already saved my ass a few time since i
switched from svn to git.

I interpret this as "would someone please do my job?" and the answer is
"no".

Just go back and see when you broke it. You start from a point where it
worked and test half way in your revisions... and you keep bisecting
until you find where you screwed up. Done right, it only takes about
log2(N) tests, where N is the number of revisions you have.
