I'm not sure, but I guess it may be used in VBR or DTX mode?
At least that's why I kept it.

So, what's the next step towards intergartion? I guess it should
be somehow made available from Speex API level, e.g. with
new speex_decoder_ctl() or speex_lib_ctl() request? I have
no idea about the best way here, and would appreciate your
advices.

Exactly.

Sorry, not sure I follow you. What do you mean by "you can ask the full
bit-rate to the encoder or decoder"?
