I think I was wrong; it looks like "bitrate" is used in the expected way - to 
indicate the transmission bit rate. However the code doesn't take 
bits-per-symbol into account in uhd_interface.py (line 70):

asked_samp_rate = bitrate * req_sps

Shouldn't this be, "asked_samp_rate = bitrate * req_sps * bits_per_symbol"?

No problem!

One more thing - it looks like BITRATE refers to the USRP sample rate as 
opposed to the bitrate of the modulation scheme. I think this is a little 
confusing. Please correct me if I'm wrong with this math, using QPSK as an 
example:

actual_bitrate = (2 bits/symbol) * 1/(SPS) * BITRATE,        where 
SPS=(samples/symbol) and BITRATE is the USRP sample rate.

Thanks,

I thought it was the bitrate; must have been another oversight when I was 
working on it. I'll fix that, too.

Thanks for the bug reports (and useful suggestions)!

I think this will help clear some things up:
http://files.ettus.com/uhd_docs/manual/html/identification.html#identifying-usrps

So, e100 will not actually respond to the addr key. I believe that the
error stems from the usrp2 find routine trying to send a discovery
packet on the address that you specified, which may be invalid to do.

So I guess my question is, what device address arguments are being
passed into the uhd source/sink constructor?

I recommend using an empty device address. But if you have other usrps
attached to the e100 somehow, and you build uhd with support for those
usrps, you may want to specify type=e100 as a way to filter the other
devices.

So does an empty string default to the first UHD device found? If so, then that 
solves the problem, and I'll change all of the defaults to that (along with the 
change to args).
