You might want to look at rx_multi_samples.cpp as an example of a
streamer w/ multiple channels. Basically, the recv() call will fill 2
buffers in this case, not one. In other words, the data is not interleaved.

I also recommend using the gnuradio companion. You can make a simple
flow graph with a USRP source with two output stream and simply connect
2 file sinks.
