waterfall displays zeros instead of noise (note they used QT GUI waterfall block instead of regular sink).

Danny recalls that it did not seem to recognize the RTL in the log output.

I tried reproducing this problem with their actual hardware. I tried running the various install commands - soapysdr didn't install (see #12 ), and I had to install git for some reason. To do that, I also ran apt update. Installing git also installed git-man and liberror-perl. No idea if those would effect it. All the other packages we suggest installing were already installed and did not update.

But when I build the flowgraph and ran, it worked perfectly. We can't seem to reproduce the error, so we will close for now.
