The use of 64-bit apparently makes the encoder 'better' in term of
dynamic range, but I will probably check with the tools that Siarhei
uses for testing the exact amount of 'better', the drawback is that
for 32-bits systems it might have an impact in performance so it is
good to keep --disable-high-precision and document it in the README as
you suggested.

Maybe this will be useful to kick start some unit tests for sbc as well.
