The memory footprint is roughly (15*256*2 + 90) * 4 Bytes. I.e. ~ 30KB.
That could be reduced to ~15KB by calculating the sinc using fp_sincos
in resampler_new_delta.
As for cpu, the code does 15 multiplications and 30 additions (when
downsampling) per output sample. Before implementing this, I asked on
IRC whether that would be doable and the response was that it's doable
although slowish on ARM.
Anyway, the patch makes the sinc resampling a compilation option. It is
only included if DSP_USE_SINC_RESAMPLING is defined. So for too slow /
too low on memory targets we could just not define it.

Yes, /me too. :)

Best regards,
