I did some work to optimize svolume already, see my branch on github:
https://github.com/mkbosmans/pulseaudio/compare/master...orcify

After a few pending patches that I have already sent to the list are
pulled, I plan to submit this branch in parts. (the branch needs to be
rebased after the pending patches are committed)

For testing correctness of your volume implementation (and
performance, as Tanu suggested) you can use the svolume-test program
added in this commit:
https://github.com/mkbosmans/pulseaudio/commit/cf0c5c9ad47ba0434b0518ca79ca802d0e62153a

The Orc svolume implementation currently only handles 1ch s16ne (the
orcify branch also adds 1ch float), so I added a similar test for
identical channel volumes for the Orc case:
https://github.com/mkbosmans/pulseaudio/commit/8659d08f22ccaba0c1ca18c0b29744318bf4fe08
I like that way (only using one extra variable) a bit better than
yours (with both same_vol and fast_vol added), but that is not really
important.

I'd say only float32ne is another candidate.
