Scott, WU2X, the author of PowerSDR/IF and I have discussed this a number of times. He is interested in doing it, but I don't know if or when it might show up. The current priority is merging his version up to the 2.0 release from Flex Radio, which is theoretically due out soon (been in beta for quite some time). I'm sure that if it happens, it would be an option, since many would not want the clutter.
