May I ask one further clarification: what is different in the end result using overlapped Goertzel, and sliding DFT? I mean apart from computational resources. Aren't both equivalent for practical purposes, or am I missing something? Brian.

There's a difference in that in between the Nth outputs the Goertzel algorithm has an intermediate and potentially not useful result, but the sliding-window DFT will always have the output that represents the frequency coeficient for the last N input samples.
