In the ideal situation, we may link to speex resampler as a dynamic library -- e.g. adding a configure option to let user choose the built-in or system-wide library resampler code. Does libspeex provide this code snip as exported?
There's one problem with that solution though; people generally don't compile and install alsa-lib themselves these days and since distributions may not be too keen on having their alsa-lib package dependent on their speex package they might just compile with the builtin code.
Users of these distributions would then have to be fairly familiar with alsa to know they could improve sound by recompiling alsa-lib against the speex libraries, but given that it's (also) dirt cheap soundcards that need the resampling, their users aren't too likely to _be_ fairly familiar. They'd just observe (still) that their sound is "much better on windows".
If the standard code is as lousy as I've read in this thread, keeping it as default is probably not the best thing.
