[Discuss-gnuradio] Anyone have an opinion on what existing block is closest to the attached so that I can start writing my own?

[Marcus D. Leech]

Attached is a C implementation of a block I wish was in Gnu Radio.  
Anyone done anything similar-enough as a block
  in Gnu Radio that would make a decent starting point?

It's basically a block that takes a fixed-size vector input, and a list 
of "descriptors" that describe output channels that need to be carved out of
  the input vector (a list of start:end  which are simply offsets into 
the vector).  It's intended to be used after a FFT+complex-to-MAG block to
  process the resulting vector and select sub-bands and turn them into 
power-estimate channels.  I see nothing in Gnu Radio that does this,
  other than things like the FFT channelizer, PFB channelizer, etc.  
Neither of those is efficient in this case, because the channels are of
  non-uniform distribution and width, and if the target is simply power 
estimation, that part has already basically been done by the
  FFT+complex-to-MAG stage.
