Is this a DVSI licensed and publically available closed source
module or something "unofficial" or not generally available to the world
at large ? It has obviously long been possible to recode some reverse
engineered DSP chip based IMBE implemenation into C++ source code for
Wintel/Unix/BSD use, but this would not be free of license and patent
issues... and could not be made part of an open sourced project or
product without a DVSI deal (and it appears they don't see this as in
their interest).
