Hi,
thank you very much for the idea! I'll try that!

Did you try just allocating an appropriately sized buffer and typecasting to 
(unsigned char **)? The type cast doesn't change the data, just the compiler's 
interpretation of it (and since this is a pointer that won't affect the data 
itself in anyway).


Yes, unsigned char here really is just intended to signify "raw data" - a byte 
stream.  The byte stream may be interpreted as floating point data channels.
