I'm not absolutely sure, but looks like the spandsp stuff was intended to
be patched against the old * Stable release, that has since gone away.

I'd have to guess that Steve (author) is either very busy, or might be
waiting for a version-freeze release of * to update the code. I've been
waiting for a while as well.

You can read the Makefile.patch file and do the patch by hand (not all
that hard), but then you'll find the *.c files won't compile since they
haven't been updated since the BSD code changes. That happened a month
or two ago. Doesn't look very promising.
