Within the BBN RX side, all the processing blocks are stuck together so that
data "streams" from each block to the next. In the final block, when a
packet is successfully decoded it is loaded in a message queue.  The loading
into the message queue is done within the C++ code, not the python.

There is another thread running that will sleep on an empty queue and will
not wake up until something is inserted into the queue. When a message
enters the queue, the thread wakes up, takes out the message and then prints
it out via a call back function.

Check the source code for the message queue to see if there is another
function to add a message.

Thanks,
Colby
