They're anchors. The 3.5 kHz anchor is a low-pass filter with a cutoff
of 3.5 kHz. So it's effectively equivalent to the best quality you can
have with a narrowband (8kHz sampling rate) signal. Similarly, the 7 kHz
anchor is the best quality you can do with a wideband signal (16 kHz
sampling rate).

Well, since 1.2beta3, the "tools" are already in their own library,
libspeexdsp.
