Perfect, I will send a new patchset with changes you suggested me

Sorry, I forgot to commit main.c :)
You should install Qwt libraries (http://qwt.sourceforge.net/) since
they are not compiled statically into the program and then run qmake
and make. I tested UI with Qwt-6.1.0 and Qt-5.0.1
Anyway, I will write a README

Yes, it is control channel. I prefer option 2 too. I will add a
channel type filed into fft_sample_ht20_40 structure.
