I did generate a sine with it, but the problem is that if I use the fft
output for amplitude, the is being amplified to something around 4........
that's far to much, if you consider that I had put in a sine wave with
amplitude 1........

And if you would read the calculations I made in mail I just sent to John
Lazzaro, you would probably understand what I mean.....
