Uses the Catmull-Rom case of Hermite cubic splines.
Vastly improves the quality and accuracy of audio resampling with a
rather minor additional overhead compared to the previous linear
implementation.
ARM and Coldfire assembly implementations included.

Emulates the basic "Meier" crossfeed (2 capacitors, 3 resistors)
as discussed in
http://www.meier-audio.homepage.t-online.de/passivefilter.htm
This crossfeed blends a bit of low-pass filtered L signal into
the R signal (and vice versa) while adding about 300 us delay
to the crossfed-signal. A difference with the crossfeed already
present in rockbox, is that this algorithm keeps the total
spectrum flat (the one currently in rockbox accentuates
low-frequency signals, making it sound a bit muffled).
This implementation is quite lightweight, just 3 multiplies per
left-right pair of samples. Has a default C implementation and
optimized assembly versions for ARM and Coldfire.
The crossfeed effect is quite subtle and is noticeable mostly
one albums that have very strong left-right separation (e.g.
one instrument only on the left, another only on the right).
In the user interface, the new crossfeed option appears as
"Meier" and is not configureable. The existing crossfeed is
renamed to "Custom" as it allows itself to be customised.
There is no entry for the user manual yet.

Creates a standard buffer passing, local data passing and messaging
system for processing stages. Stages can be moved to their own source
files to reduce clutter and ease assimilation of new ones. dsp.c
becomes dsp_core.c which supports an engine and framework for effects.
Formats and change notifications are passed along with the buffer so
that they arrive at the correct time at each stage in the chain
regardless of the internal delays of a particular one.
Removes restrictions on the number of samples that can be processed at
a time and it pays attention to destination buffer size restrictions
without having to limit input count, which also allows pcmbuf to
remain fuller and safely set its own buffer limits as it sees fit.
There is no longer a need to query input/output counts given a certain
number of input samples; just give it the sizes of the source and
destination buffers.
Works in harmony with stages that are not deterministic in terms of
sample input/output ratio (like both resamplers but most notably
the timestretch). As a result it fixes quirks with timestretch hanging
up with certain settings and it now operates properly throughout its
full settings range.
