yes I'd prefer that the default behaviour did something useful (ie it's a 
stream the drng will consume without complaint) even if it's not 'perfect' in 
some form - personally I think the RF noise source is somewhat more "suspect", 
I don't think it should be part of the default

firmware (we can't really change this for most users after we ship)  - so far 
I'm not planning on writing any host side software (other than maybe a udev 
script)
