    • Eliminate large waterfall texture uploads
    • Update visuals to OpenGL 3.x / OpenGL ES
    • Resolve constant refresh on visuals that don't change often
    • Resolve all driver/platform vertical sync issues
    • Group and divide IQ data distribution workload instead of 100% distribution per instance

Advanced Goals and ideas:

  • Design a plan for expansion via modules (dylib/dll/lua)
  • Support shell-based stdin/stdout tools for direct output/playback to/from CLI audio processing apps (i.e. DSD on OSX)
  • Update visuals to support OpenGL ES
  • Basic demodulator filter(s) that can be enabled and tweaked visually
  • Support multiple simultaneous device usage
    • Categorize devices by antenna connections
    • Allow locked frequencies to activate unused devices to continue demodulation on same antenna
  • Integrate LUA
    • Expose liquid-dsp functionality
    • Scriptable liquid-dsp demodulation
    • Scriptable digital demodulation output handlers
      • Create block output devices on *nix?
      • Create socket outputs?
      • Visual outputs?
    • Take control of additional devices and spawning new demodulators (i.e. trunkers)
    • Script manager / live editor
    • Provide scriptable liquid-dsp modulation for transceivers?
    • Allow scripts to launch/run headless (no UI)
  • "PVR" like mode with waterfall time shifting
  • L/R and surround-sound balance settings for separating and listening to mono streams
  • Add tool for converting decimated I/Q recording to video
    • Select video features such as title/demodulation/scope/waterfall/etc.
    • Render to video from GL frames->ffmpeg/mencoder /w demodulated audio
  • Accessibility / Control
    • USB/MIDI control surfaces
    • Joystick / gamepad input
    • Vibration / force-feeback
  • Investigate compilation via emscripten using SoapyRemote for input
    • Create web server+SoapyRemote bundle for embedded devices
    • Use emscripten compiled CubicSDR via embedded web server
