Sonic Flow has an initiative for such library. They don't have patented
higher order shapers but it is a good start.

Reading memory is slower than such simple computations.
And, you get a longer period with random number generators.
You mention the /dev/urandom. Has it been tested in any way? How good it is?
It might work ok if we need a random number once in a few seconds but
because we need it at very fast rates (even several multiples of sampling
rate!) it may fail badly.
