Saving Unsigned 16 Bit Integer to SD

I am working on a project that uses an FFT library along with Processing to visualize an audio signal from a freetronics microphone.

The Example Sketch I Uploaded to the Arduino:

/*
This Example acquire analog signal from A0 of Arduino, and Serial out to Processing application to visualize.
Tested with preamplified audio data. Take a look at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=drYWullBWcI

Analog signal is captured at 9.6 KHz, 64 spectrum bands each 150Hz which can be change from adcInit()
Load the this file to Arduio, run Processing application.

Original Fixed point FFT library is from ELM Chan, http://elm-chan.org/works/akilcd/report_e.html
A way to port it to the Arduino library and most demo codes are from AMurchick http://arduino.cc/forum/index.php/topic,37751.0.html
Processing app is based on codes from boolscott http://boolscott.wordpress.com/2010/02/04/arduino-processing-analogue-bar-graph-2/

The graph produced by Processing is very useful for real-time frequency analysis, but I am assuming that it would be possible to save the unsigned 16 bit integer 'spektrum', which I believe is the output of the Fourier Transform, to a file on an SD card. I was able to get an SD Card reader module working with the SD library CardInfo/Read&Write examples. Does anyone know how I can save the FFT output for an analysis at a later time?

Thanks!

Does anyone know how I can save the FFT output for an analysis at a later time?

It's an array of unsigned ints. Printing an unsigned int is something that the Print class knows how to do. The SD library inherits from Print, so saving an unsigned int (or an array of them) should be trivial. What have you tried?
