I've used the WaveLab package extensively with Octave.  Even the MEX
functions run correctly!  See the attached InstallMEX.m file.

The dispatch used on 'reverse' has nothing to do with the inverse
transform, though.  The example above works fine on my side.  You said
you modified it slightly -- what exactly did you change?
