Well yeah, a window function basically "fades" the signal in and out
slowly, so it spends almost all of the time at less than "full
volume". You'll want to correct for that with the integral of the
window function - essentially the area under the curve. If it gets
too hard to figure out, just feed it a full scale input (constant
valued if you want) and take the output that produces as a baseline to
figure out an empirical scale factor.
If you at some point implement this in fixed point, you'll have to
think a bit about pre-scaling vs. post-scaling to make sure you don't
overflow your word length at any point in the process.
