Do you have ideas on how I could implement this feature while avoiding 
floating point (or at least to implemented the feature in a portable 
manner)?  I agree that it would be better but I'm not sure how to do it.

I could change the entire silence remove filter to avoid floating point 
ops but that would be a big change and I don't think that's a good idea.

Would it work if I created the tone using asrc_since.c and then 
converted that to double samples within the filter?  (rather than my 
existing approach which generates the tone as doubles using sin()).

Thanks,
Greg
