[Speex-dev] Upsampling while decoding / Updating

[Nikos Chantziaras]

I'm not using Opus at all.  I'm just including its resampler in my own 
sources.  It's not even a DLL; it's directly compiled together with the 
rest of my code.  You need these sources from the opus-tools package 
(http://www.opus-codec.org/downloads/):

   arch.h resample.c resample_sse.h speex_resampler.h stack_alloc.h

In your project file, define these macros:

   #define SPX_RESAMPLE_EXPORT
   #define OUTSIDE_SPEEX
   #define RANDOM_PREFIX NAME_OF_YOUR_SOFTWARE

If your software is actually a library itself, you might to instead:

   #define SPX_RESAMPLE_EXPORT __declspec(dllexport)

or whatever else you happen to be using.

With that, you should be able to include the source files directly in 
your project and build them without issues.  The license is a two clause 
BSD-style permissive one, so you can do that.
