Also note that the NORD field of a waveform record does not get monitors 
posted on it unless there is device support that explicitly does that, so this 
wouldn't necessarily work too well anyway (you could forward-link the waveform 
record to a longin that reads the NORD field and use that instead though).

In 3.15 any device support will still be responsible for posting monitors if 
it sets NORD, but the record and soft device support will also do it when they 
set NORD.
