The vector length of 2 shorts are a funny way to say type "complex
int16". The issue is we dont really have an official complex type for
non single precision floats in gnuradio.

Technically, you can connect that to any input that is 32 bits wide, but
since grc does does type checking as well, you may need to perform some
manipulations on the stream to get it into the format you like.
