Actually, Goertzel is faster than using FFT if your target is just one
single frequency. My idea is to use Goertzel algorithm to detect just
one of the two Bell 202 tones on an 8 times oversampled stream, 9600
sps.

Applying Goertzel on 8 conscutuve samples should give the amplitude of
the frequency. Then, moving the segment 1 sample and repeating the
process should give the rate of change of the presence of the tone on
that segment.

However, my DSP skills are near-zero and I'm looking for comments and/or help.
