-	~~The package contains two binaries, fm and fmscan. To pick up all stations even with very weak reception, I issued,~~
-
-	~~$ fmscan -d /dev/radio2 fmscan -d /dev/radio3 -t 18 -i 0.1~~
-	~~Scanning range: 87.9 - 107.9 MHz (0.2 MHz increments)...~~
-
-	Nice and clean. I added an antenna, but still got weak reception. This is very useful for testing the radio and finding the stations; does it support directing the sound to a file? I try various combinations and end up with this to get 100% volume:
-
-	~~$ fm -d /dev/radio3 89.9 65535~~
-	~~Radio tuned to 89.88 MHz at 100.00% volume~~
-
-	~~Weird. I don't see a way to record; do I need to use sox? I don't know if I'm getting any sound, as I don't have speakers on this box.~~

-
-	~~=== MPlayer ===~~
-	~~You can do a lot of things with MPlayer. As example, I use this syntax for radio listening:~~
-
-	~~mplayer -rawaudio rate=48000 radio://2/capture -radio adevice=hw=2:arate=48000:channels=93.8-Radio_Zones,94.7-SSR_1~~
-
-	~~Note that this command will work even without audio cable between the output of the radio card and a line input of the audio card.~~
-
-	This will start mplayer with sample rate = 48 kHz (the same than the one the sound card is using give me the best result), listening to the second station onto the list, the tuner is the third sound card (ALSA device hw:2). For more examples and syntax: [http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/HTML/en/radio-input.html#radio-tips MPlayer radio tips].
-
-	~~You can add as many stations than wanted and use LIRC to control MPLayer.~~
-
-	~~I am running JACK all the time. I added~~
-	~~ao=jack,alsa~~
-	~~into ~.mplayer/config (for MPlayer) and mplayerplug-in.conf (for Firefox mplayerplug-in). For recording, I can use any JACK aware recording application.~~
-
-	I made a XDialog wrapper for radio listening using MPlayer and v4l2-ctl. I found it so good than I just made it public under the name [http://slashdot.org/firehose.pl?op=view&id=5214989 XDRadio]. You will have to make a list of your stations during the installation (very easy to do). After, it is just to run it and enjoy the radio.
