mid-side stereo processing example

mid-side stereo processing example

[Eric Wong]

I just put this together based on an old SoX mailing list post:
http://mid.gmane.org/72D2BEA8-3801-41EF-9BF0-364EACAE4C05@music.mcgill.ca

Not sure if it's worth converting into Ruby and making it officially
a part of dtas (and possibly libifying it for splitfx...)
