If the delay roughly corresponds to the path difference of one
ear to both speakers, and you do invert, then this is a primitive
form of crosstalk cancellation.

If you want to try the real thing (which can be quite good), get
jconv and use one of two EYCv2** configurations. More info in
the config files.
