Actually its more complicated than that. The PS and the PDF files are different, and only the PS-file is confused. Here is the correct explanation: The factorization of the polyphase matrix is not unique. There are several valid factorizations. Our implementations corresponds to different factorizations of the analysis and synthesis poyphase matrices, and both are in a sence correct, although numerically different. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
