I need to use a software loopback (arecord | aplay) to listen from it, and mplayer does not have an interface at all. The best/most complete radio application is kradio4, but tkradio/fmtools has all the features I need, and is very small. The point is that in the past there were several radio applications that worked. Now, with only v4l2 in F12, very few can still be used. I am maintaining kradio4 in ATrpms and Fedora, and I am a co-maintainer of gnomeradio and fmtools, which have been patched to work. There is another one called gqradio under review, waiting for a good soul to review it. -- Paulo Roma Cavalcanti LCG - UFRJ
