Hi Kelly,

It's seems unlikely that the problem is with speex itself, as many other
people are able to decode speex audio without issue. We're using it on
Windows, OS X & iPhone OS in narrow and wideband modes, and additionally
on linux within Asterisk. Are you able to reproduce the issue with the
example speex programs? Perhaps there's a concurrency / initialization
issue on the encoding side, which produces a corrupt speex stream.

What sort of Mutex are you using ? I don't know what lightweight threads
are, but if they somehow all exist within one OS thread then they might
just recursively lock the same mutex instead of acually blocking.

Cheers,
Dave
