I already have a very rigourous test suite set up I just don't have the
filters yet.
I'll be happy to add you to the test suite :-).

Two problems.
I need a multi-rate style filter. For the interpolate by 2 filter it
has odd length, every second coefficient equal to zero except for the
middle one which is 1.0. Filters like this are far more efficient to
implement and Remez can't design them.
I am aiming for a filter with a very narrow transition band and stop
band attentuation of at least 96dB. This requires large numbers of
coefficients (>256) and for problems like this, the Remez algorithm
fails miserably.
