My dear Guillaume ;)

I already told you that the equation* can be improoved, i also told
you how it can be improoved, I even put explicit coments regarding
future work on the filter in the source itself. Ill try to make the 
necesarily arrangements this week, but, dont keepp your hopes to high, 
any filter trying to do this kind of work* over an audio stream will 
necesarily lead to distortion, as a matter of fact, what im doing here 
is that, DISTORTING.

thanks for caring and please keep in tune for the next version ;)

Best regards
