Hi everyone,
The osmocom's version of rtl-sdr driver seems to be the main one. Osmocom's repository is used by distributions to build rtl-sdr packages and it is source of the code for compilation with use of GNU Radio's Pybombs.
Is there someone in the Osmocom who is maintaining it? There were some important developments regarding this driver and it would be great to add this patches in the Osmocom's repo.
For example one that interests me is turning off dithering so multiple dongles sharing the same clock generate the same LO frequency.Currently there is always little frequency offset that makes coherent of the receivers operation much harder.
Such changes of course have to be done carefully so nothing gets broken in the process. In case of turning off dithering it results with worse tuning granularity, so for example turning it off can be made optional.

Indeed, rtl-sdr was created by some people (primarily Steve) within Osmocom. You can see the history in the git repository.
