I'm sure you checked this, but are you trying to capture the first few
samples of sin(x)? I so, sin(x) = x for small angles, and sin(0)=0.
So, you won't see anything in the first few samples anyway.

I don't know whether or not the USRP dumps the first few samples. I
don't think I've ever experienced it though. I can say that there is an
unpredictable delay from the generation of the first sample in software
until the time it actually reaches the output port.
I haven't tried to do what you're doing -- i.e., capture the first few
output samples on a scope. How is the scope triggered? (What I did was
create a loopback whereby I transmit and receive by reading the
bleedover on the daugherboard.)
