You might want to get the source for convolve or pvoc and modify the code
so it interprets the output of the FFT the way you want, then pass the
control information onto other units in the orc.  This seems to be what
people so when faced with orcs that take a lot of compute time because of
lots of information passing between units- the new grain opcodes come to
mind as an example of this.
