To me, the upsampling is not a good approach for anti-aliasing.  This
means, you have to interpolate, then filter, then sample again.

But you will wind up applying your filter at a lot of points, which
will just be discarded.

In fewer steps, (I think) we can modify the interpolation function
continuously as the speed changes.  Rather than filtering on a long
signal, just filter it in place.  The part that gets tricky is that
the DFT is a lot less relevant, and you have to rely upon continuous
functions instead.

I didn't make any progress today... and friday is gone for sure :)  I
will calculate the spectrum for tabread4c~ on Saturday, I think.

I'm down with the project, but I can't really see the big picture for
a tabread/vd/tabosc lib yet.
