Hi,
it would be nice if the lpwsinc and bpwsinc element from the filter plugin in
gst-plugins-bad are moved to the audiofx plugin in gst-plugins-bad. The reasons
for only moving the elements and not the plugin are these two:

a) It would be a bit insane to have two plugins containing audio filters in
gst-plugins-good. One with more elements makes much more sense.

b) The remaining element from the filter plugin, iir, is completely broken
(simply segfaults for me) and it's IMHO not very useful at all, even if it
works. There seems to be no interest in fixing the element and nobody seems to
care about it at all.

When moving the elements we should rename them to something more consistent
IMHO. All audiofx plugins have a prefix "audio" and lpwsinc is not only a
lowpass filter but also a highpass filter, same goes for bpwsinc which is not
only a bandpass filter but also a bandreject filter. The currently only
lowpass/highpass filter in audiofx is called audiochebyshevfreqlimit, the
bandpass/bandreject filter audiochebyshevfreqband so I would propose a renaming
to audiowsincfreqlimit and audiowsincfreqband.
