You will need a soundcard and then you set up an stereo source. I/Q at baseband is delivered.
There is no "softrock interface" in gnuradio because there is no hardware to control. It delivers a 100 kHz or so and this is centered on the crystal frequency on the softrock. In gnuradio-examples/python/apps there are the Swiger hf_* applications which could be easily modified to do the required tasks.

It's just that most softrock user like to use the "rocky" software because it runs on Windows. You can't really do much with Rocky because it is closed source, binary only. Many people are using other software with softrock hardware. However I think most of that "other" software is Dttsp based rather then gnuradio based. The hardware is designed to be connected to a sound card and outputs I and Q over a pair of analog outputs. So what ever software you use it would not have to "talk" to the softrock, it would talk to your computer's audio subsystem. Connections to the SR are all analog The kit costs only $8 for the receiver and even with it's use of SMD is not hard to build.
