What I don't understand is, why is the null sink able to have one input and no 
outputs?  I would think that it would suffer the same issues that a 2-in 1-out 
block would have.
 
I tried to understand the noc_block_null_source_sink.v, but I didn't really see 
how to use it as a sink only.  I was going to create my own, but then I had the 
question from above.
 
I am a little worried about the constraints that the block-to-block messaging 
has, so I was going to change my block to a 2-in 1-out block, but then 
remembered those issues.  Then my answer was to make it 2-in 2-out (like it is 
now), but connected a null sink to the unneeded output.
 
Any words of wisdom?

Hey Jason,
 
 The block is functionally complete, in fact I think it was the first
 block ever made. There is a UHD C++ example,
 rfnoc_nullsource_ce_rx.cpp, that uses it. A block controller and GRC
 xml for GNU Radio needs to be created though.
