[DECtalk] DECTalk At High Speaking Rates

Hi,

They actually experimented with raising the sample rate to 22K from the 
default 11K. First, apparently this can only be done with the floating 
point vocal tract model and not the integer one, and I don't understand 
enough about the two models to know why. Also, there are some other 
problems I don't quite understand that prevent this from actually being 
a viable thing, at least in the short term. The experimental 22K support 
makes a few consonants have more highs, but otherwise sounds just about 
like the 11K version.
