Aha.  Or rather, d’oh.

You’re right, I sure don’t. =) I thought N was an evaluation window
size, or something.

I was just experimenting with Bourke’s approach, which I 
get in theory but not in practice.  The signal his code is
feeding to fft(-1) is a complex waveform with exponentially decreasing
magnitude over time (dithered with noise) & random phase.
He runs it through IFFT to convert that into 1/f noise, with
exponentially decreasing power over frequency.  

Peering at analyzers.lib a little deeper now …
am I right that N is the number of evaluation
bins, i.e. as would be produced by a forward FFT
analysis of a signal?  (So 32 would be plenty for audio,
and that compiles quickly enough.)

If so, I guess my whole approach is 90 degrees off —
the magnitudes need to be fed in parallel to ifft(),
not in series.

Does that seem right?  I admit I’ve never done an IFFT before. =)
