[suggestions]

[code]

I will need analysis (32-subband; real-valued time domain to
complex-valued and hence oversampled output) and synthesis (normal -
64-subband, downsampled - 32-subband; complex-valued input to
real-valued time domain) QMFs for SBR so this may be useful to me too.
I don't know if David wants to look at this and he's certainly welcome
to but if he doesn't look at it, maybe I will.
