[pulseaudio-discuss] [PATCH 5/6] tests: Add remap test code to cpu-test

the idea is to compare the output of the C (reference) implementation 
against the output of the optimized code path; currently, there are MMX 
and SSE implementation for the mono-to-stereo remapper for s16 and float 
sample formats

regarding constants: SAMPLES, TIMES, TIMES2 just match other tests

samples are indeed chosen in a weird way
mono[i] = rand() / (float) RAND_MAX - 0.5f;
mono[i] = rand() - RAND_MAX/2;
this should be corrected so that samples are in -1..1 and -0x8000..0x7fff

mono-to-stereo remapping is just duplicating the mono samples, but samples 
will matter more for other remappings (e.g. stereo-to-mono)

regards, p.
