Well, this is a more of an "upstream default" question rather than a "why don't you recompile speex" question, and one where it might make sense to come up with something reasonable across the board; either by upstreaming "fixed point by default for armhf", or by Debian to drop its patch. It does not look likely to me that PulseAudio upstream and Debian would correspond to so different machine/user scenarios so that a Debian specific patch would make sense here. -- David Henningsson, Canonical Ltd. https://launchpad.net/~diwic
