ack! 

The real cost is in the complex multiplications though. So if anyone
knows how to speed that up with a nifty function using
assembler, prefereably following this interface:

// computes n complex multiplications and _add_s the results to the out buffer
void complex_multiply(unsigned int n, 
                      fftwf_complex *in1, 
                      fftwf_complex *in2, 
                      fftwf_complex *out);

i would be oh so greatful. 

So the TODO list as grown to:

- fix error checking
- add multiple response file support as explained above
- add libsamplerate supprt for converting response files to jack samplerate
- optimize the complex multiplication
