The code is written in such a way that no saturating add/sub/mul are
required. That's the only way to get any sort of performance on
architectures that don't have hardware saturation (e.g. ARM). There's
only a few places where saturation is required, which I'm handling with
the SATURATE macro.

No standard stream, sorry. Speex doesn't have a "bit exact" definition
like the ITU codecs. That means I can keep improving it, as long as I
maintain bit-stream compatibility (think how much MP3 encoders improved
over time).
