Where did you get that crazy idea?  GCC surely is not my favourite compiler.

No, it is _not_ supposed to be bigger than int; it is supposed to be
a) at least as big as int, and b) at least 32 bit.

8 bit okay as well?

Well I tried to convert libvorbis to use much more consistent integer
types (mostly to use more unsigned ints, though) some year ago or so,
but I gave up.

Any good patches will be gladly accepted, I think ;)
