It looks like the problem is that while there is a 4 port interconnect
available, only ports 0 and 1 are hooked up:

This actually brings up a design suggestion: the Replay Block could have
it's own internal AXI4 interconnect that scales based on NUM_PORTS. I've
done this myself in a custom RFNoC block using the Xilinx AXI4 Interconnect
IP and it worked out well.
