Hi Robin,

if you have the drivers, it should be a cakewalk to add sink/source
blocks.

What exactly do you mean? The standard GNU Radio source comes with (real
time capable) drivers for all the Ettus stuff (via UHD), Funcube Dongle,
soundcards and more (see also
http://gnuradio.org/redmine/projects/gnuradio/wiki/Hardware), plus there's
3rd-party stuff like Balint's drivers for RTL2832 TV tuners available on the
webs. These things connect to the PC via USB or GigE.

I'm not sure if that's what you were looking for, though.
