[tremor] inline'd functions under MSVC or poor tremor output

This was indeed meant to be caught by the #ifdef jail in os.h.

Different output is not surprising as oggdec is using floating point,
subject to rounding differences, and Tremor is not.  The differences
should be insignificant.

Tremor supports all the same Vorbis insfrastructure that the floating
point encoder does.  Nor should it have perceptably greater noise.
Thus something is wrong, although it's not clear from the original
mail where the problem could be.

Would you mail me your .ogg and .raw files resulting from oggdec and
tremor decode?  I'll compare them against a known-good build here
(Unlike the floating point libs, Tremor should give bit-identical
decode on any platform).

BTW, mail those files directly to me, not to the list.
