At one time I had found a program with source that supported the radio in
the Hauppauge Win-TV.  I don't remember where I found it, but looking at
the source it looked like just a few ioctl's to actually start and stop
the radio.  It didn't look like it would be too hard to add a play radio,
tune station, etc.  Not sure about recording it, but at least it is a
start.
