All LTE samples rates, ranging from 1.92e6 to 30.72e6.

I have to note that traffic is always full-duplex, we send and receive
at the same rate. Also we always send/receive in 1ms chunks, so
depending depending on the sample rate that is 1ms worth of samples.

We alter the send_frame_size and recv_frame_size depending on the bandwidth.

For 11.52e6, for example, we use
'send_frame_size=1024,recv_frame_size=1024'.

For 23.04e6 we decrease the size and use
`num_recv_frames=64,num_send_frames=64`.

But we don't alter the num_recv_frames. I guess this means we use
num_recv_frames=32 for all bandwidths.

I can give your suggestion a try as soon as the device is up again. But
in general, do you reckon we should use different parameters for streaming?

Thanks
Andre
