I once hacked a version of AMP so that it would compile with c++, then 
wrote a fixed-point class that could be used for all the floating point 
arithmetic.  The final stage was to add

#define float	fixed_point

after the class was defined, so that all subsequent code used the class.

IIRC It uses about 50% of my SA110 RISC PC on a 44KHz stereo MP3.

I'm not sure if I've still got the source lying around.
