Well, unfortunately just rejecting 0 in sbr_dequant is no solution,
because, as you noticed, that only happens via underflow.
One could check for exponents smaller than MIN_EXP, but since
the exponent can get smaller during the calculations in sbr_gain_calc,
that wouldn't necessarily avoid the division by 0.

Additionally both sbr_dequant and sbr_gain_calc are void functions,
so can't easily return errors.

So the only simple way to avoid the division by zero is adapting
sbr_gain_calc to handle this case gracefully.

Best regards,
Andreas
