Our typical internal use (i.e. with thor.py) launches a radio with a particular start time and sets the Digital RF Sink "start" parameter accordingly. When this is not the case, and the user has to set the "start" parameter and hope that it accurately corresponds to the first sample sent by the radio, data misalignment occurs when a time tag set by the radio provides a time that is earlier than "start".
We should make it possible to not specify "start", or not instantiate the Digital RF channel for writing until the actual sample start is known.
