Okay.  The SDR-IQ is supported with "SpectraVue" (http://www.moetronix.com/svdownload.htm) and SDR Console, (http://www.sdr-radio.com/Home/Introduction/tabid/384/language/en-US/Default.aspx).  

I use SpectraVue as it does everything I need with a clean interface.  SDR-Console is still being tested and there is a new version (or two) every day.  It's way too cluttered and complicated for me, but I guess some folks who think Hamradio Deluxe is fine, probably love it.

QUISK (http://james.ahlstrom.name/quisk/) is another one, but I haven't tried it.

Winrad (http://www.winrad.org/) is another one I haven't tried and may have died by now.

The interface spec and architecture is documented for all to see.
