96831ae59b - Increase dynamic range of filter coefficients from 28bit to 30bit.
This cause dramatic effect in overall precision and conversion quality
  by pushing down most aliasing artifacts around -180 dB.

  Spectrogram analysis/comparison:

- Guard against possible 64bit overflow during accumulation process by
  slightly normalize and saturate sample and coefficient multiplication,
  possible during extreme 32bit downsampling (eg. 380KHz -> 8KHz) with
  custom preset that require more than ~7000 taps filter (which is
  overkill).

- Add knobs through FEEDER_RATE_PRESETS to set dynamic range of filter
  coefficients/accumulator and prefered polynomial interpolator:

  	COEFFICIENT_BIT:X
	(where 1 <= X <= 30, default: 30)

	ACCUMULATOR_BIT:X
	(where 32 <= X <=64, default: 58)

	INTERPOLATOR:I
	(where I = ZOH, LINEAR, QUADRATIC, HERMITE, BSPLINE,
 	           OPT32X, OPT16X, OPT8X, OPT4X, OPT2X)

0162436974 Slightly increase amount of bandwidth of resampling filter for
feeder_rate_quality=3. This have the benefit of reducing aliasing
artifacts due to alias masking.

Spectrogram analysis:

 o Old preset (100:36:0.90)

 o New preset (100:36:0.92):

164e1f20ec - Add a way to change filter oversampling factor through
FEEDER_RATE_PRESET "OVERSAMPLING_FACTOR:X .. .." where
  X = log2(oversampling factor).

- Lower down default filter oversampling factor from 128
  (log2 = 7) to 32 (log2 = 5), saving worth of 80 Kb.
  The use of better polynomial interpolator will raise
  its conversion quality/accuracy to match (or slightly
  better) with previous settings.

- Bump driver version.
