Comment (by markjohnson@…):

 I have an SDRPlay, and I applied this diff to my Portfile, and I can
 confirm this allowed me to do "port install gr-osmosdr +sdrplay" and have
 the SDRPlay work reasonably well with gqrx, also installed via MacPorts.

 Regarding the Mac OS X drivers not being ready for prime time... They are
 outdated compared to the Windows drivers. I believe the main issue for me
 was actually bugs in part of the gr-osmosdr library code, which resulted
 in lots of pops and static.

 The diff that improved gr-osmosdr SDRPlay functionality greatly for me is:
 https://github.com/SDRplay/gr-
 osmosdr/commit/6b0454f6e1d8a4a8dde8956d74466b30e02b1db9

 It looks like this code has not yet been added to git://git.osmocom.org
 /gr-osmosdr

 I'm also looking into fixing that code completely via a separate thread to
 read from the device, a FIFO circular buffer, etc.


 Anyway, I think even in the current state, before the above diff is
 applied to the main gr-osmosdr repo, this patch is still very useful.
 Thanks.
