Yeah, let's start a new trend, from dissing to flaming. Songs instead of
mails. I guess it would double the number of Linux Audio songs in no

Some of these are quite amusing and IMHO most of them justified in the
original context.
..but more importantly none of them was a personal insult.
Which can not be said about some of your comments.
If you want my take on it: pipe it into a text-to-speech synth and make
a RAP song out of it: "Parental Advisory Explicit Lyrics." Bonus points
if you manage to work Bob M's Jammin' into it and master it with jamin
Come to think of it we might even start a petition for the Unplugged
version of it featuring Fons at the next Linux Sound Night :)

Here's the greatest hits:
"It's a good example of textbook DSP being applied blindly
and without understanding the consequences. "
"But it's a kludge, and a solution to a
problem that shouldn't exist in the first place."
"As said, there are two issues with the EQ. The first is that the
implementation is subobtimal and introduces artefacts that have
to be (and are to some extent) hidden by changes added after the
initial release. The second is that this type of filtering allows
and invites to do things that do indeed 'destroy' the sound from
a purist POV, while adding nothing useful from any other POV."
and I suppose this was just plain vindictiveness
"Don't know where you get this, but I assume it's not the result
of your own intellectual efforts and so I can just say 'bullshit'
(the pure liquid variety actually).
I won't even comment on the rest, as I'd have to be at least
as rude :-) "
Don't know why I got the impression you were being rude or anything...
Must be just me. Perhaps an easier way to do this in the future is
to just present your
evidence up front instead of trashing other peoples hard work with vague
off hand and out of context remarks.
Where did I do that ?
