I care!  Thanks for the update.  I look forward to trying it out.  The
current "stable" ivtv driver (0.1.9) doesn't support radio, but the newer
0.1.10 ck patches do.  They are still under heavy development so I haven't
tried them out yet.  AFAIK, the only ivtv cards that have radio are the
PVR-350 and the PVR-250 MCE OEM.  I have a PVR-250 MCE, so I can test that
when you get to a point where you want testers.  I also have an old
Hauppauge bttv w/radio (don't remember the version, but it is the mono TV
capture card with radio).

Thanks and let me know when you are ready to have people start testing it.

P.S.  I am lucky I was a little bored and reading all my email.  I usually
ignore emails that have a Subject with (no subject) ;-)
