The "magic samples" deal with the case where you change the filter
length on the fly. It's really messy logic (that I can't understand
anymore unless I spend a few hours reading the code again) that nobody
should ever have to look at.

There's no dynamic allocation as long as you don't change parameters on
the fly. Otherwise, there's a few source code tweaks you could do that
can lower complexity at the expense of increased memory use.
