This is great! If everything works I'm going to commit it as-is and we 
can tweak it later for 4 subbands etc.

If it seems ok, I'd like to just use '#ifdef __arm__' so it's automatic.

ok, the change should be fine

wow, nice. Maybe this room for optimization is what Marcel was talking 
about.

Ok, I'll load it on gumstix now and give it a try.

yes, this is disappointing. We may need to find another way to get 
reliable timing than setitimer.

I did change the first usleep(10) to usleep(1000) and that *may* help 
with this problem by ensuring that we always interrupt the usleep 
syscall consistently. I don't have my hp headphones (the set that's very 
sensitive to timing) handy to test.
