[Speex-dev] Re: compatibility issues.

Hi,

For the openSpeak project we use PortAudio V19 & speex. So if you  
want some code examples, you can look an pick in our SVN (its GPL).
ATM we are having some problems with PortAudio v19 (it might still be  
buggy somehow, it seems not to support the 32-kHz sampling rate used  
by speex ultra-wide-band mode) so if you want something stable you'd  
better use v18. And of course, if you have suggestions about our  
code, feedback is most welcome.
