-Updated the Slaney IIR gammatone to use a cascase of four second-order filters as per the implementtion in Slaney's auditory toolbox. This is more numerically stable at high sample rates and low centre frequencies.

+ * This is the version of the IIR gammatone used in Slaney's Auditory toolbox.
+ * The original verison as described in Apple Tech. Report #35 has a problem
+ * with the high-order coefficients at low centre frequencies and high sample
+ * rates. Since it is important that AIM-C can deal with these cases (for
+ * example for the Gaussian features), I've reiplemeted Slaney's alternative
+ * version which uses a cascade of four second-order filters in place of the 
+ * eighth-order filter.
