Excellent work, I was hoping someone would write an EQ plugin using SSE2
(I don't know of any existing ones).

My own 'efforts' don't amount to much so far, but I'm working on a
test-bed to analyse LADSPA plugins, and I can continue to monitor your
snapshots for any issues.

One bug I found so far, is that if I call run() with a block size of 1,
do_eq() is run with sample_count of 2. This causes the 'output' buffer
to be overrun inside of the switch(numfilt) block.

Also I have to ask whether both the original TAP plugins and your own,
should set HINT_LOGARITHMIC for the frequency and/or gain parameters?

And I'm not sure what msp_eq.c.good is for, maybe that wants deleting?

Anyway, please keep up the good work.

That's a good point, but I had that turned off.
