Hello Jean Marc:<br><br>
Please see the email I just <font color="#FF0000"><b>re </b></font>sent
to David (several serious typos in my original email to him ... sorry). I
came to the same conclusion that you expressed below. The MSP430xx does
have a MAC, but no compute pipeline.<br><br>

Unless it has a very fast MAC unit (which I doubt), a 25 MHz<br>
microcontroller is not enough to run Speex.<br><br>
