Does this support the zero-padding trick?

[nicola]

Hello here, I am aware that there is a trick to keep the buffer size larger by zero-padding the first N bytes. Does this provide such trick or will I have to implement it off this?

I'm not aware of this trick, so, I guess I'm not sure!

This may be wrong, but I think this trick might not work very well because these algorithms operate mostly in the time domain. This trick is more useful when going from the time domain to the frequency domain or vice-versa.

As some of these algorithms use peak detection as a method of pitch detection, it may cause problems if the zero padding causes a rapid drop to 0 from the previous value. This could cause a new peak, which would not necessarily be caused by pitch.
