Speex dev - Sep 2007 - How can I minimize the memory usage of speex?

Hi,
I am trying to implement Speex in freeRtos on LPC2138 (ARM7 core), to record
about 10sec of voice. I like to compress the data by using Speex, because of the
limitation of RAM (32KB). I have read that the speex encoder and decoder need
less than 6KB RAM.
 "The fixed-point narrowband encoder+decoder memory use has been cut by
more than half, making it possible to fit both in less than 6 kB of RAM".

It seems to work, but my implementation needs a lot more RAM. Now my questions:
How do I have to configure the en-decoder (I already set the complexity to 1)
and which libraries are minimum required?

Best regards
Sevan

I guess the first thing to say is that the 6 kB figure assumes that all
the constant stuff (code and static tables) need to be in ROM. From
there, you need to build with VAR_ARRAYS defined or else play with the
values of NB_ENC_STACK and NB_DEC_STACK.
