I've checked the source of the driver; ENOSYS is never returned...

I've inserted two more voices on the misc menu' to select if signal 
informations are to be visualized and/or logged.

Now they are on a separate row right under the channel name.

think the voice in the menu' to activate it and the row for its own is a 
good solution.
