Oh yeah, one more thing... what is your logic behind adding a smart usrp front 
end?  Just to make sure we're on the same page...

If I were to take a stab in the dark, the smart front end knows whether a 
channel has been allocated, and query the daemon if not?  Basically it is acting 
as one central location for all of the output ports on the application, whether 
they be status or samples, and interfaces with the daemon to setup the proper 
channels and transmit the frames, etc... ?
