Since we perform modulation at the host, the block could essentially 
just use the real component and ignore the imaginary component.

Is this something the standard code supports?  I'm digging through it 
and the only formatting specifications I'm seeing are for 8 vs. 16-bit 
samples.

If it's not supported yet, is this something we might want supported? 
What we have now essentially does this, except I think we're shipping 
back the imaginary instead of the real ;)
