I'm using pre-UHD/VRT code at the moment - my understanding is the metadata
VRT adds applies to a group of samples, the GPIO streaming lets you get
boolean values associated with specific samples (with some fixed delay) - I
was planning to use it to get a PPS into the PC before realising I could
just use timestamps..

I was looking into getting two IF streams as I and Q data a few weeks ago -
there is a version of the USRP2 firmware which supports 2 DDC's - I think it
uses slightly different filters - in the USRP2 FPGA code its under
top/u2_rev3_2rx_iad. A mailing list post suggests the Makefiles need
updating to use the new Ethernet code so its probably not suitable for UHD
yet.

In case its helpful to anyone, the quick solution I went for here (given I'm
still struggling to get an old version of Xilinx ISE) was to modify the
firmware to set the BasicRX as a quadrature board and tuning to 0, which
disables the CORDIC bit. This gives you two streams of IF if your happy with
both streams being the same sample rate/untuned.
