The Comedi interface is not set in stone at all yet.  I've just
integrated the core, and am still adding the remaining drivers
(hopefully get to the rest of them tomorrow).  Then we can start
cleaning up the interfaces between the core and drivers, and review the
external interface as well, to see if it is lacking in any way, or not
working properly for any specific users (like yourself.)
