Hi Christian,

can we please keep this mailing a top-posting free zone. I know it is
hard for Outlock to get this right, but it is possible.

I think we should focus a fixed point version. There should be no need
for floating point at all. If fixed point isn't good enough, then we
screwed it up.

And in case of embedded devices we are seriously limited with floating
point and doing that in software just doesn't work out. And this is
mostly not directly a performance problem. It is more a power
consumption problem. We don't wanna have A2DP drain the battery.

Regards
