[Speex-dev] Speex memory usage?

[Ghost Wolf]

Thank you for making it super clear to me that it wouldn't work. My goal 
is to make a simple pinhole based speex player kit (pinhole circuit 
board that is) to sell and of course donate some of the profit to 
speex/xiph.

I love speex but it would be great if the recommended system 
requirements would be viewable on the site. I'm guessing that it can be 
difficult because of the changes in code and assembly optimisation but 
if you only post the recommended and add that minimal can be less and 
that is changing over time then the page doesn't need to be updated as 
often.

and Jean-Marc, I am grateful for really explaining why my idea wouldn't 
work. I am a beginner with visions but don't have the skill to realise 
it yet, so please bear with me.
