All double is for LSF/LSP calculation, since that's what the acelp
function takes. I think we should just hit the shit and convert it all
to float, either before or after I commit, no matter whether it
changes PSNR by a percent or not.

In the end, these are low bitrate voice codecs. Shit goes in, shit
comes out. We're just adjusting the shit to contain slightly less
shitty after our decoding adds more noise to it, but it's still shitt.

I think I only do it for the dq, because it decreases binary size
considerably. Any other place I missed?

I just removed one (or, well, merged two into one) in my
to-be-published patch. The others are unfortunately necessary, yes.
