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. -justin
