Sure. There are very few radio applications around, and they are kind of
unmaintained upstream. I made a review request yesterday with a patched
gqradio for working with v4l2.
gnomeradio just needs best defaults for v4l2 and a script for having sound
using sox, because it never recognized the mixer channels of my card:
http://orion.lcg.ufrj.br/RPMS/src/gnomeradio-1.8-4.fc12.src.rpm
kradio4 works fine with v4l2 and fmtools is bkoken.
It would've been easier for me if you had just posted a patch for the specfile
along with the patch you wanted to apply to the source.
Anyway, I had a look at it and I don't like it. You're hardcoding the driver
to v4l2. I think it'd be better to simply make the autodetection try v4l2
first. Also, is it necessary to change "/dev/radio" to "/dev/radio0"?
Please try the attached patch and see if it works for you.
Thanks and regards,
R.
