An Idea for rx_c_file

Hi, this is just an idea for an improvement to rx_c_file. When it
outputs a file, there is no information about frequency, decimation,
sample type etc… If you forget how you sampled it the information is
useless. What if the rx_c_file program could output a file with this
info automatically? Or could it be included in a header? This could also
be read by the corresponding tx program.

I’m no programmer (ie. I don’t know how to implement this), and this
could be a stupid idea, what do you think?

This could be done easily, but just as a suggestion, I’ve gotten into
the
habit of naming my files with all of the relevant information in them.

Another suggestion: Modify the file to use the WAV sinks. That way, at
least the sampling rate gets saved into the file, and you can implicitly
save the sample type (I assume you mean real vs. complex?) by using mono
or stereo files.
