Bug#696846: pulseaudio: please default resample-method to speex-fixed-3 or ffmpeg on non-FPU architectures like armel

[Daniel Kahn Gillmor]

Package: pulseaudio
Version: 2.0-6
Severity: normal

many armel machines do not have hardware floating point units.  On this 
platform (as well as on other platforms known to lack an FPU), 
pulseaudio's default resample-method should not be speex-float-3.  It 
should be a fixed-point calculation; either speex-fixed-3 or ffmpeg 
seems like it would be reasonable.

According to Alexander E. Patrakov, that choice is in 
src/pulsecore/resampler.c, search for "PA_RESAMPLER_SPEEX_FLOAT_BASE + 
3"
