Hi,

There are a bunch of companies nowadays which have general purpose
DSP processors to do this job, and canned routines that you can use, 
and this probably is your cheapest solution. A few of them are:

TI: TMS32010 - the basic one, will do this job probably.
Analog Devices: ADSP2100
Motorola: 56000
AT&T: DSP32

Another way to go is the one you are considering. I think it is more
expensive, but one would have to look at the required speeds and 
dynamic ranges required. One company that comes to mind is :
Zoran Inc. out of somewhere in silicone vally - they make FFT chips.


Hope this helps, David.
