It's just like the comments say, in STATE_NO_SIG, we consume 1 less
because we need to leave behind a full fft_length of items to test for
the preamble. When we have the preamble in STATE_PREAMBLE, we consume
everything including that one so that the next input block is the
start of the packets.

FYI: Matt and I are working on the OFDM stuff this week. We're seeing
some issues that we need to work out, so things we thought were right
could be wrong and will hopefully be fixed.
