[Freeswitch-users] SILK speech codec, Celt, FreeSWITCH

[Brian West]

SILK will NEVER take off if they don't stop jerking developers  
around.  I have a silk binary but its 32bit only... You CAN NOT link a  
32bit .a file into a 64bit .so just won't work.   And I emailed about  
this fact and I got brushed off .. it takes only a few seconds to  
compile a 64bit version yet they seem to not be interested.

CELT will win this battle.  Its Open it works NOW.
