Hi Uwe,

Thanks for the valuable feedback. You're right, building on the newer
waveform abstractions is a correct approach.

I'll rework the patches to use .round_waveform_tohw(),
.round_waveform_fromhw(), .read_waveform(), and .write_waveform() as you
suggested, instead of the .apply() callback.

I appreciate you steering me in the right direction.
