On a side note, since the LPC10 seems to be a voice codec: Has any thought 
been given lately to perhaps integrating gnu radio and gstreamer in any 
way?

While gstreamer has lots of audio/video formats/codecs and processing 
blocks, gnu radio seems to have lots of rf signal processing/ modulation 
blocks.

I am using gstreamer extensively for non-radio-related projects and to me 
it seems like the two projects are quite similar and could be integrated.

I searched the net shallowly and the most relevant I could find was ..

  http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/discuss-gnuradio/2002-02/msg00013.html
  http://www.omgwallhack.org/home/jblake/app.html

.. of which the former basically is an old question like the one I am 
posing now, and the latter talks about interfacing GStreamer directly to 
the USRP, bypassing the gnu radio processing framework.

Sorry if I am way off here or if this is a FAQ.
