[Speex-dev] Speex memory usage?

I told you the RAM requirements. The lookup tables are already counted
as ROM. Basically, just one decoded frame already takes 320 bytes. Add
the excitation memory and you've already blown the budget.

It's not clear the code size + lookups would fit in the flash anyway.

Too slow.

All the code assumes you have a 16x16 multiplier and a 32-bit
accumulator. Emulating that on an 8-bit chip would be far too costly.

Given your requirements, the only thing that might work for you is one
of the ADPCM variants.
