Description
I am layman user of the codec. I chanced upon the NE10 switch while trawling the source code to find ways through which I could help improve the audio output performance of ExoPlayer since I was getting audible glitches. This was quite some time back. Meanwhile, it seems that the good folks at Google have added some NEON related things to opus (pardonne moi for my complete ignorance).
I have no idea whether NE10 has any utility any more, and whether removing it would have any impact. Furthermore, is there a need/mechanism to activate the NEON related things added to the codec or are they automatically activated?
Apologies for the dumb queries.

Research direction
Start by tracing the NE10 switch mentioned in the source and comparing it with the NEON-related code added to Opus. Determine whether NE10 is still used, whether its removal would affect output performance, and how the NEON paths are activated; the issue is resolved only when those questions have a documented answer.
