I'm think about this question since I turn on my PC today. :)
Ok, I receive from USRP a stream of samples. They are raw, not packed.
So, if I use a 1 bit quantization, I have 8 samples in a byte; with 2
bit, 4 samples... and so on! But any module in GNU radio uses only char,
short, gr_complex (std::complex, is the same?). If I change
usrp1_source* to return always * samples, I reach my purpose. And then,
after usrp1_source*, I can use every module in the library I need.

What's my fault(s) in this reasoning?
