Hi Martin,
I read too quickly – you said splitter and duc DON’T accept stream
commands.
Misunderstanding: The Radio-input-ports do not accept stream commands. The
split-stream and DUC blocks will happily forward them.
Is it not correct, then, to DROP streaming commands instead?
Your PolConverter should one-to-fan (which it seems it does).
What I would really like is for a streaming command that starts the whole
pol converter stream processing to start the TX side as well, automatically.
If you remove the timestamps, then TX will start automatically. If neither
your PolConverter nor your UHD host code needs timestamps, you can simply
turn them off in the radio:

--M
If you haven't seen it, the stock example rfnoc_radio_loopback
https://github.com/EttusResearch/uhd/blob/master/host/examples/rfnoc_radio_loopback.cpp
might
be helpful to look at. This should work with a stock image to show a simple
loopback from Rx to Tx. If you modify freqs (ddc/duc or radio freqs), you
can have your loopback implement frequency conversion.
