I tried to follow your advice and Nuno's regarding this, I hope the new
version will match your expectations (new version coming soon).
However if my changes do not match, I will probably need more guidance
to understand in deep what you suggest.

True, this is not needed.

It's responsible for the go signal, I renamed it "configure_and_start".

However, just for my own understanding, when would I be supposed to
configure the channels requested by the user otherwise?

Thanks,
