Large StreamBuffer requests do not block until fulfilled about soapysdr.jl HOT 4 CLOSED

Yes I think that makes sense per read definition:

  read(s::IOStream, nb::Integer; all=true)

  Read at most nb bytes from s, returning a Vector{UInt8} of the bytes read.

  If all is true (the default), this function will block repeatedly trying to read all requested bytes, until an error or
  end-of-file occurs. If all is false, at most one read call is performed, and the amount of data returned is device-dependent.
  Note that not all stream types support the all option.

from soapysdr.jl.

With #18 this can be temporarily avoided with read(...; all=false), to return fewer than requested samples. We should handle this internally though, so let's leave this open to track.

To clarify, we should handle larger buffers internally in SoapySDR if requested, and block until the data become available. Just like the behavior of any other IO stream.

Should be fixed in #22. Please comment and reopen if otherwise.
