I mean the spliting of the pitch_delay variable not the comment.
IIRC its split outside already as its needed splited for something else.

I do not see this cliping in the float reference of g729. I also do not
see it in soc/amr. It cant be that the cliping is correct in one implementation
but not the other.

Complexity theory is the science of finding the exact solution to an
approximation. Benchmarking OTOH is finding an approximation of the exact
