Yes, that's what I've been doing.  It works.  I've also written
the missing gr_int_to_float and gr_float_to_int blocks, as well as a
gr_network_to_host_ii byte order swapper block.  If there's general
interest in these blocks, I can submit them for inclusion in GnuRadio.

Sure.  How do I get to it?
