USRP with the above version works, but you have to be root to use it.  
Non-root user doesn't get sufficient permissions to open the USRP.  I got 
lots of audio underruns and an odd sampling rate when using the wideband fm 
receiver example program, and the audio was the wrong speed; but I got audio 
(this laptop has one of the notoriously difficult intel HDA setups).

Output:
[root at localhost usrp]# usrp_print_db.py
RX d'board A: Basic Rx
RX d'board B: TV Rx
TX d'board A: Basic Tx
TX d'board B: <none>
[root at localhost usrp]#
