This may result in phase shift in lowest frequencies, and, as most
CD recordings have a very limited dynamics range (they are continuously
at the max amplitude), the signal may easily run out of the
range of 16 bit short ints, resulting in audible distortion.

Is the FFT size large enough for this (eg. a 1024 sample FFT has a
resolution
of about 40 Hz, and is not suitable for implementing a 5 Hz highpass
filter) ?
Generally, I do not think this highpass filter would not be
really useful, so it may be better to include it as an experimental
option.
