Of course it *can* be used (and needs fixing). It just seems few people
did :-)

I don't think it should be a _ctl() call because there's too much
potential for confusion. I would just keep it as a separate API call
like you have. I'd tend to put it in speex_bits.h, so I guess it should
be called speex_bits_get_number_of_frames() or something like that.

I mean that SPEEX_GET_BITRATE will actually return the total bit-rate in
bits per second.
