Frankly, the description is terrible.  The "real-time convolution
matrix" is to be parsed as "(real-time convolution) matrix", I think.

I don't really know what the library concretely implements (and it
doesn't come with a helpful README), other than that it is used for
real-time audio convolution, e.g. in IR.

The Fedora package description is:

  "zita-convolver is a fast, partitioned convolution engine library."

How about this then:

  "Zita convolver is a C++ library providing a real-time convolution
  engine."

WDYT?
