There _are_ reasons to use tremor even on floating point hardware, in some 
cases, though. Tremor (I think this is still on a seperate branch, though) 
has much lower memory usage - in some cases that might be important. 

On a TI C67xx board, it's unlikely to be worthwhile, though - my experience 
with those suggests that mainline vorbis would be appropriate. I hope the 
compiler has improved since I last used it (several years ago), though - it 
was a nightmare.
