Did you try with it an RTL-SDR stick? I tried to get it to work ~half a year ago but I could not get it to stream data (that's why I did not include the plugin in the initial sopysdr PR).

Hi @markuskowa, thanks for taking a look at this PR.

I have a RTL2832U stick (RTL-SDR v3) and I've tried it successfully with that.

SoapySDRUtil gives the following output:

$ ./bin/SoapySDRUtil --find

  serial = 00000001
  tuner = Rafael Micro R820T

I also have a working nix build for CubicSDR (which is why I need soapyrtlsdr) and that works fine with my stick through SoapySDR.
