The Speex project has been split in 2, speex "the codec" (where you'll
find the decode_init and decoder_ctl API) and speexdsp "the DSP
library" where you'll find the jitter buffer API. The motivation was
that users want to be able to use purely the codec without the DSP
stuff and vice-versa.

N.B. The most active/used project in speexdsp is the resampler, you
may find jitterbuffer implementations elsewhere that are a better fit
for your project.
