Also, when the sampling rates get extreme (software-defined radio), it is well worth moving to complex samples. Doing so allows you to use a sampling rate equal to your theoretical maximum bandwidth, instead of 2x. That's not such a big deal at audio bandwidth, but when your Airspy is slinging a 6 MHz chunk of spectrum, it becomes a huge deal.
