This seems to be a generic problem with GnuRadio. I notice a lot of newbies
who show up here and ask for help but get no response. They seem to disappear
never to be heard from again.

I just built the usrp portion for the first time, not having a USRP I was
trying to learn more about the process by using the audio stuff. 
I encountered several problems and posted questions to the list but got
no responses. After a bit more hacking, it appears usrp compiles Ok with
the FreeBSD port of libusb so maybe it will work.

Just to be sure things are right, I blew away the GnuRadio installed files
and re-built from CVS. Amazingly, one problem in the gnuradio-core build
seems to have disappeared but a new problem appeared in the audio-oss build.

One more bug to hunt down to get back where I was:
