I imagine it can't be much harder than breaking the signal down
into its component frequencies, and figuring out what the
greatest common factor is of the frequency peaks. There are
probably other considerations that I'm not thinking about off the
top of my head, but it seems like a doable project, if nothing
like that exists already.
It is way more difficult than that. Finding the pitch of a signal, even
monophonic, is *very* tricky, for real instruments.
