Moritz-

A company called Anadigm (www.anadigm.com) makes just such a device. For
true FFT analysis there are a variety of digital signal processors that
might also work (check out the Atmel FPslic devices- there is one available
with an FFT core already onboard). These are all pretty pricy right now
(the Anadigm chip runs ~ $30 US). But with time and volume, prices always
drop. It is a wonderful time to be a hardware hacker- so many nifty toys
out there to play with!
