Processors without floating point can use the the fixed-point decoder.
But there is no fixed-point (integer-only) encoder. So for your
application you'd have to use the reference encoder with software
floating point emulation, which is indeed slow. I'd expect a 400 MHz
XScale could still do that in realtime, but the best approach is to
just build the reference code and see if it works.
