WOW, I'm impressed, this is pretty smooth! I don't know how well it works
with different X-Servers, but the one for my old cheapo S3 Trio64 card
works quite cool, no flickering at all.

I personally don't use those gimmicks (the first thing I turned off on my
sister's Win98 box), because I don't want to wait for a damn popup menu 
;o) but I know others do. And I like having the option to enable it, too
:o)

One little optimization thing (I once read on ALSA-devel): don't use
float, but use double. CPUs with floating point units internally use
double anyway, so you have an unnecessary overhead by using floats.

Cheers,
Carsten Pfeiffer
