It just depends how many samples you use for your fourier transform, the 
more samples you take, the more accurately you can divide up the frequency 
spectrum.  If you have a couple of seconds of normal audio recording (so 
like 100k samples), you should be able to find a single frequency pretty 
accurately, certainly to within 1 Hz.
