Description ?

People who enjoyed EaglePlayer II on Amiga, may remember the 8-bit Amplifier, which featured a nice Surround effect. This plugin is an attempt to recreate the same effect, plus some other goodies.

About the surround effect: it works like a cross echo. Some amount of the left channel is delayed of some milliseconds, then added to the right channel, and vice-versa.

• provide a feeling of bigger room (that's what they said :).
• reduce ear pressure¹ when using headphones, especially with mods (try it to understand).
• despite being nearly a stereo->mono effect, you can still locate the sound in space, thanks to the delay.

This plugin originally was only a Surround effect for x11amp, but then I discovered the new xmms (formerly x11amp) which featured the same kind of plugin. So I had to expand it a bit to not look too unuseful :)
