 Understood. Looking around at code that uses config_mimo (which looks
like it's only available to C++ apps right now) - I see rx_samples.cc
uses it, but it looks like that's fallen out of use, and is a bit crufty
now. Any reason I couldn't modify rx_streaming_samples.cc to call
config_mimo?
 Thanks,
 Doug
