Thanks, that makes more sense. I’m used to bmdtools style of over-riding 
whatever is set in the control panel for the input interfaces.

One other question that comes to mind: What happens when there are multiple 
devices of the same model? The documentation seems to indicate using the 
device name instead of device index.

I’m hoping less overhead due to the elimination of all the memory copy going 
on with the pipe. I won’t be able to test till tomorrow.
