Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Possible bug in the vrt branch firmware?

[ValentinG]

How u2->start_rx_streaming(0, usrp2::time_spec_t(2, 10000)) is start
streaming in the PAST? Isn't it 2 seconds later than the time we reset to
which is (0,0)? Also we have tried changing the start streaming time to
(5,10000) which didn't help, hence I'm not sure if sleep(1) is going to make
a difference...
