If we agree that only LR4 crossover (and not, say, LR2 or LR8) needs
to be implemented, then yes.

Not quite. To implement a proper LR4 crossover filter, you need to
cascade two (yes, two, not a user-configurable amount) 2nd order
Butterworth lowpass filters, and also cascade two 2nd order
Butterworth highpass filters, and do that for each channel. You do
need to make sure that each of the 4N filters has its own biquad_data.

Since I want pulseaudio to be perfect, please use a circular buffer
for history data.

In plain C you would use malloc() and free(), but pulseaudio has
pulseaudio-specific wrappers such as pa_xnew() and pa_xfree().
