- * In-memory FFT cache.  For this we want to cache magnitude with

- * whether something is a peak or not, and also cache phase rather
- * than only phase-adjusted frequency so that we don't have to
- * recalculate if switching between phase and magnitude displays.  At
- * the same time, we don't want to take up too much memory.  It's not
- * expected to be accurate enough to be used as input for DSP or
- * resynthesis code.
- *
- * This implies probably 16 bits for a normalized magnitude and at
- * most 16 bits for phase.
- *
- * Each column's magnitudes are expected to be stored normalized
- * to [0,1] with respect to the column, so the normalization
- * factor should be calculated before all values in a column, and
- * set appropriately.
