Appalayagari Sreedhar- Yes I agree that for audio applications you would want to stay with linear phase FIR filters, when possible given real-time processing and memory constraints.. I'm not sure of a good reference for FIR filter design using genetic methods. I've posted your response to the group, so hopefully you will receive some suggestions.

In my problem i need to optimize the phase so that my filter can be used for linear phase required applications like audio etc. if u can please suggest me any references i will be greatful to u. i am working on the design of non linear FIR filter design using Genetic algorithm. i did the linear FIR filter now i started to work on this subject. thank u very much, regds,sree.

You can convert from symmetric to minimum phase; so one design method is as follows: -design the standard FIR filter that meets your specs -convert to minimum phase -truncate trailing section of impulse response to some acceptable limit of tolerance for coefficients near zero The objective is to reduce processing time, in cases where non-linear phase is acceptable.
