i feel the need to clarify/correct myself: the filters employed are
not chebyshev designs, they were designed the same way as 'unmatched':
frequency response given, iteratively approximate the filter.

they do a lot better than chebys of the same order, but it's quite
impossible to recalculate their coefficients at runtime. if that is
demanded, the polyphase design probably wins easily.
