Traditionally zeropadding was used to pad out for radix2 ffts that is not so valid now, as there are very many ffts that are not radix2 for instance matlab and octave use fftw which allows arbitrary numbers of samples as input to the fft, so the widespread practice of zeropadding when using those libraries may be misguided.
