"Pulsator" -> "pulsator"

"inbetween" -> "in between"
"phaseshift" -> "phase shift" or "phase-shift", prefer 1st

"the 0.5" -> "0.5"
"left to right speaker" -> "the left to the right speaker".

nit: 0.01625 and 64 inclusive or exclusive (i.e open or closed
interval) should be clarified since they are exactly representable
doubles.

Again, inclusive or exclusive.

Same as above.

I don't know the policy towards typedef'ed structures, kernel
explicitly forbids them. Seems like FFmpeg freely typedef's
structures, so feel free to ignore.

Please do check a build with "-Wgnu-zero-variadic-macro-arguments" (on
clang) if easily available:
https://lists.ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-devel/2015-October/181970.html,
or verify otherwise that it is not an issue.

Minor nit: change all 1. to 1, they are exactly representable.
More useful one: remove 1.0 / , simply do a count * lfo->freq /
lfo->srate, the 1.0 is redundant.

why "magic" 1.99? Usually when I see such things, they are a bad form
of 2 - epsilon, and epsilon is picked out of a hat with no rationale.
If 1.99, 0.01 is genuinely needed for some reason, be it compatibility
or something technical, please add a relevant comment.
minor nit: change 100. to 100, this applies in various places
throughout this code. I won't point them out below for brevity.

Simplify to sin(phs * 2 * M_PI)

Squash the two cases for > 0.25, 0.5 into one; it is a straight line
segment and does not need an additional branch.

A potential memleak issue: what happens if e.g channel layout stuff
succeeds and formats stuff fails? goto fail may be useful.

Note: I have not tested the filter; all the above is purely based on
examination of the code.
