Should we be checking for that library:
http://www.soft-switch.org
as per, for example:
https://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev/201412/msg00013.html
and
https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=5619
or is spandsp not yet mature or cross-platform (where "platform" includes "CPU" - and "generation of the instruction set of that CPU") enough?
They also say:
http://www.soft-switch.org/installing-spandsp.html
"A number of Linux and other software distributions include SpanDSP, but they usually supply older versions of the library, which lack a lot of the features of the current version."
Even if we don't want to use it by default if present, should we have --with-spandsp, defaulting to "no", so that people don't have to do quite as much work to use it if they choose to build a custom version of Wireshark?
