Hmm,
I would prefer to have the same weight for all samples. So I guess
I am looking for an FIR with N-taps 1/N each, collapsing the whole stream
to just a single value. But I guess really setting up this filter and
picking out the
last output-value would be a rather inefficient way of performing the task.
