I think I'm doing something wrong :o) Don't know what though.
Also, I could not find in the documentation how to convert the sample-data
to floats. Now I'm just doing something like

float_data[index] = (float)input_data[index];

where input_data is a short *input_data "array". Is this correct? Or should
I scale the data down to -1.0 <= x <= 1.0?

Ah, ok, thanks.
