Hello

Hatari defaults to "Table" if starting with no config, so it should be 
good for most users who want a safe setting.

As for the linear method, I know it's not faithful to how a real ST 
mixes the 3 voices, but I'd like to keep it as a way for the user to 
"play" with different settings (in the same sense that some music 
players support some bass/trebble adjustements, even if it changes the 
original sound).

I agree it might not sound nice when mixed with dma sound for example, 
but having several audio filters could be an option to artificially 
"enhance" the sound experience (even if only one of them is considered 
to be the "official" filter).
