I need just

Vout = Vin(a0 + a1*Vin + a2*Vin^2 + ... + aN*Vin^N)

for given a0,..aN with limited N (a1..aN abs will be < 0.1). Say, we just 
recalculat samples' amplitudes directly. Is there any caveats in such direct 
transforming? And why do I need to use another (Chebyshev polynomials) way? 
Will I get HF hum? Please, direct my nose to an approriate reading! :-)
