Right, another bug, thanks.
IIRC there are some special functions like EnterCriticalSection to get the
process mutex so this can be solver easily.

IIRC, i compared different windows in the past and Kaiser looked pretty good.
Wikipedia has some nice article about these windows but i would say Gaussian
doesn't look better than Kaiser.
Note that mp3 format uses even worse hanning windows.

Oh, i'm pretty sure those bytes are unused but i may be wrong. May be better
remove them to avoid confusion.
