Custom device strings

[AsciiWolf]

Please, consider supporting passing custom strings to SDR devices. They are used for example to select a correct SDR device if there are multiple ones connected to the same computer, enabling bias tee for preamps/converters etc.

For example look at how this is handled in Gqrx.

for some devices there is a device selection mechanism, invoked as soon as the system detects that there are more device candidates Can you be slightly more specific and give an example? who is interpreting the "custom" string, when and howi s it submitted Op ma 9 aug. 2021 om 15:44 schreef AsciiWolf ***@***.***>:

Sorry for the late reply. Good question! They seem to be called "device arguments" and are handled by the gr-osmosdr source, so I am not sure whether it will be possible to implement them in qt-dab without using gr-osmosdr. :-/
