[Speex-dev] How can I minimize the memory usage of speex?

[Jean-Marc Valin]

I guess the first thing to say is that the 6 kB figure assumes that all
the constant stuff (code and static tables) need to be in ROM. From
there, you need to build with VAR_ARRAYS defined or else play with the
values of NB_ENC_STACK and NB_DEC_STACK.
