Description
I think this would be a fun addition to the current 1.2 Equalizer.

The current filter used is Butterworth. If we were to add the other ones as options, that would allow for some interesting uses, not to mention some absurdly steep filter slopes!
I've already spent... a lot of hours researching trying to figure out how to add this, but I haven't had much luck. Here's the guide that was used for the current LMMS 1.2 Equalizer: http://www.musicdsp.org/files/Audio-EQ-Cookbook.txt

Research direction
Locate the current 1.2 Equalizer implementation and identify how its Butterworth filter is exposed and configured. Read the linked Audio EQ Cookbook guide and compare the requirements for Chebyshev, inverse Chebyshev, and elliptical filters. Done means the Equalizer offers these filter types as usable options with appropriate behavior.
