32x32->64 was what I meant by "64-bit mult".  Sorry for not being more
precise.

I'm not querying the code you've written for the 32x32->64 multiply and
accumulate loop, I was just suggesting that we don't need that level of
precision when decoding 16-bit audio - the old code worked fine.

i.e. it might be more efficient to have an if statement to choose
between two loops - one performing 32x32->32 and one performing
32x32->64, depending on the precision required.

Dave.
