	Sounds good enough! Can it be used in real time ? Could i use it to
enhance LADSPA?

	I'm not afraid of learning new languages anymore, but surely i don't
have the time either... it takes a while to master it.

	In fact i wanna make it as generic as i can. My main purpose is 
voice recognition, and my secondary target is generic signal processing,
not necessarily coming from soundcards. So i should need my own
customized program.
