You might also look at:

C Language Algorithms for Digital Signal Processing
Paul M. Embree and Bruce Kimble

I am not recommending this book - just mentioning it because a colleague
just came back from the bookstore with a copy of it.  As you might guess
from the title, it contains a lot of plug-and-play DSP code, and minimal
discussion of the routines.  The book comes with a PC format disk with
the source code.  I remember seeing a comment on the net from someone
who had criticisms of this book, but I cannot remember what he said.

re: C Language Algorithms for DSP by Embree & Kimble
 
I have this book. It is fairly decent in its coverage of various algorithms but
I am no PhD in DSP so I'm probably not a good critic. Some of the discussions
are rather glossed-over, but in general, where there are more than one way to 
do something, they choose the best way to implement the code. 
 
It is fairly useful if you want to know how to program your own routines because
most books leave you short beyond the theory of DSP.
 
 
The book is also affordable, ran me $55. The other text I was contemplating was
about $160!!
