One thing that has been missed in all this is that many systems limit stack.

BeOS (not embedded, but an example I'm familiar with) can't encode
in more than 32k chunks of PCM data. The amount of stack Elate
uses is dictated at compile time, the standard is 16k.

It would be handy to get rid of alloca in total IMHO.
