I dont know at all - never used the fftw wrapper myself. But reading your
description of operation I think your analysis is right that pooma cannot
know about n*real to n/2*complex data transform. Maybe it does cope with
that, but that need to be explicitly handled in the wrapper.

I'd suggest looking at the source and maybe fixing/extending it.
