Even if we find a way to generate a sine window in an arch-independent 
way, the codec still uses floating points in other places, so if it ever 
is bit-identical across PPC and I32, I don't see any reason not to see a 
different output when testing on ARM or SH or GCC 6.4 or whatever we'll 
encounter in future. Unless someone tells me why it is supposed to work 
as is, I think that this test should be removed...
