Hi Juha,

I looked at the code, and as long as you set_fpga_master_clock before
you attempt to tune the tx or rx side you should be fine.
I'd recommend calling it immediately after you create the usrp.sink or
source.

Could you please generate another patch that does the minimum
required to get the job done?

Thanks,
Eric
