I like it.  Just add a little clause for backwards compatibility:

The driver will store the results of the last successfult S_FMT
globally, and apply this when an open does not do an S_FMT prior to
STREAMON.

This will fix things like "vctrl; vcat", which rely on two separate
opens, but mean the same thing.
