Looking for SDR protocol information (lemmy.radio)

Do you know of a table comparing the capabilities of SDR protocols like rtl_tcp, soapy, openhpsdr, spyserver and no doubt a dozen I'm not yet aware of?

What’s your goal? It’s hard to give a useful answer without understanding that.

I'm attempting to figure out what functionality each has, for example, rtl_tcp apparently only supports 8 bit samples which means that you run into issues if the hardware does 12 bit samples.

Another example is spyserver that's closed source. I have no idea what sample size it uses and if it has the capability to use different sizes depending on the hardware.

I'm attempting to evaluate the protocols each of these tools uses to talk to the world.
