Speex is a massively computationally intensive codec, and running in
wideband mode even more so. If it is possible to build Speex using
fixed-point math (which it may not be) that would probably help given
the Geode doesn't have the world's fastest FPU, but it will still be a
poor performer on a slow CPU.
