Subject: [PATCH] Optimize EQEffect by caching filter coefficients

- Implemented caching for `sos` (second-order sections) and gain values in `EQEffect` to avoid expensive recalculation on every audio block.
- Coefficients are only updated when `low_freq`, `sample_rate`, or `low_gain` parameters change.
- Added comprehensive unit tests in `tests/test_audio_processor.py` covering initialization, processing logic, and parameter updates.
- Added `tests/conftest.py` to mock heavy dependencies for isolated testing.
- Benchmarks show ~22% performance improvement (from ~0.31s to ~0.24s for 100 iterations of 1s audio).
