Speex dev - Apr 2010 - Simple example of decoding streaming audio realtime?

I'm a software engineer. I'm terribly uncomfortable with C. I want
someone to show me a simplified use of Speex decoding. FWIW I'm finally
getting my head around the API but the example had me a little lost with its
cryptic variable names and monolithic nature. The example I'm asking for is
way simpler than the final code I will ship to production so in essence, I'm
looking for a how-to or head start. I can pick up and run once I know which
pieces do what. That may not have been clear from my earlier email.

Please be civil, guys. Different engineers have different skill
levels, so what. If someone asks for some help with the reference
implementation the least we can do is point them in a useful
direction. If that's towards some simpler code, I hope it's useful. If
it ends up being towards more general programming resources then so be
it. Mocking people doesn't really help anyone.

cheers,

Conrad.
