hmm, are a and b real and imag part of the FFT of the response for one
channel? otherwise i wouldn't see how a stereo response file would have
4 values.. care to elaborate some? I hacked this thing in 1 day [incl.
learning how convolution and partitioned convolution works - i actually
wondered: what takes longer: writing a convolution engine or grokking
brutefir's config files ;)], so i wouldn't be surprised if i made
fundamental mistakes.. OTOH it sounds quite good even now..

as i don't grok the first part, i don't grok this either..
