I'm happy this is working for you, David.  So do I understand correctly, that 
the adding tx_time finally made the MIMO case work?

I'd never done burst transmission with multiple USRP outputs.  I'm not totally 
surprised but I wasn't sure what would happen.

Maybe someone from Ettus can comment on this?  Since UHD is trying to do time 
alignment in the multi_usrp class, what happens to time alignemt in the 
non-continuous-streaming case if you *don't* include a tx_time tag?


Noncontinuous streaming means there is some amount of down time.  If you don't 
include tx_time tags, the device doesn't know when to start back up again, so 
each antenna is going to start at a different time.

That seemed exactly the kind of behaviour I saw where sync between the two 
streams was lost. Matt, can you comment on whether I need to put dummy padding 
items before the first burst? to flush buffers and is there a delicate way to 
do this?
