speex floating point API disabled

GoogleGroups

In looking at the recipe for libspeex, I see that the
--disable-float-api is set.
Is there a reason for this? Is there a better way to do it? (I'm new to speex
and audio encoding/decoding).

Thanks,
Pete

Does it disturb you? Any algorithm implemented in integer works much faster then with floating point.

That is not true.

Well - I was thinking that the OMAP has the spiffy NEON/VFP units,
which speex lib
is compiled to use. We've switched our code to the integer interface,
so I'm mainly now
just curious as to why it was disabled.

It was indeed hardcoded to fixed-point eons ago, I just fixed it: http://cgit.openembedded.org/cgit.cgi/openembedded/commit/?id=e06553979d23531397af3dd71870abb80718c681
