Laurent will beat me, but shhhh, you can store a float in a void pointer. 
There is no need to allocate memory.

It would be easier for the compiler to unroll a single loop.

In general, wrapping the existing volume plugins would avoid code duplication, 
especially if someone writes more volume plugins (for other formats or for 
assembler optimizations).
