This is not the place to boast about high-quality polyphase filters -
the most important feature of the program is its universality.

I'm not sure we should mention the "libav* libraries" in the first
sentence, since most users won't know nothing about them and will
wonder what this is about, probably we want to drop that part, or
reword in other to avoid the cryptic "libav*" (but I have no good idea
and a sensible description cannot really be squeezed in the first
sentence describing the tool).

LGTM otherwise, thanks.
