This made me thinking. Brutefir seems like a good thing to build on:
http://www.ludd.luth.se/~torger/brutefir.html
Uses FFTW.

However, hacking LADSPA support into Chuck should be a good thing, since there
is already bunches of packages available there. Having ALSA/JACK support it
shouldn't be such a challenge.

Cheers,
Magnus
