Also, read docs/README.radio in the ivtv source code (recent ck patch
versions). There's a very simple utility (radio) with ivtv that will
allow you to scan for/set frequencies and then you simply read a PCM
stream from /dev/video24 (using aplay or MPlayer or XMMS or something).
Note, however, that it is impossible to use the radio at the same time
as using the encoder. In other words, if you're using the radio and
Myth tries to start a recording, the recording will fail since the tuner
is in use. Therefore, when using a non-integrated solution, be very
careful. You might want to instead try adding support to Myth. Search
the archives for MythRadio, MythFM, and MythStream.
