Super-neat! Nice work Jussi!

You should probably be able to use the JS polyfill as a reference for  
things like the samplers and the Filter interface, at least to get you  
started (before you go ahead and SIMDify it all).

When you get around to the FFT interface, you'll find that I actually  
haven't solved the scaling issue of FFT vs IFFT. I guess we'd want a  
definition that ensures that IFFT(FFT(x)) == x (not counting rounding  
errors).

I haven't done any test cases myself. There's still the issue of  
computational precision, so you'd have to be a bit clever about how to  
test it accurately, I guess.

Oh, typo! Will fix...
