[sdiy] Removing the effect of a DC blocking filter through DSP

[Didrik Madheden]

Thanks. But this is not audio from a microphone at all. It's audio
generated from an 8-bit game console, which I need to analyze for hardware
research about quirks in its audio generation circuit. Hence why I alluded
that I can easily generate a step function for reference. Ie, I'd write a
program for the console that changes a DC offset.
