    Look at the code.  This is not trivial, especially considering that
all of the parametric data must be saved and allow undo.  Also, look at
the screen real estate.  We've been trying to avoid bloatware.  If you
look at the competing commercial offerings I don't believe any of them 
have 6 parametric controls.  I also don't recall any with more than
three bands of compression.
