I will try to send my patches to these rslib users. However, rslib users 
and rslib itself are different worlds (although rslib users can give it 
a test), and many of them are not under active development for years. I 
will try to send to Andrew as a last resort, and I will probably invite 
somebody from, for example, GNU Radio, to give my patches a review.

Thanks, and I'm sorry to disturb you.
