That wouldn't really change anything.
The issue here is that fosphor processes things in batches. The
minimum size is 16 FFTs, which make 16 * 1024 samples.

One upcoming feature that would help here is the overlap. Basically
instead of advancing of 1024 samples in the input for each FFT, it
advances by a bit less so that each sample is processed in several
FFTs. But that's just an idea for now, no implementation ...

Well fosphor was kind of designed for wideband signals :p
Anything under 1 Msps may have some issues.

Cheers,
