Send a PM to the OP ( eflafargue) as he starting trying to modify it.
The plugin is minimal - the main difficulty will be trying to create
IOCTLs to control/read silabs dongles. The Radioshark plugin works for
32 bit distros - the IOCTL data structure may vary depending on 32 bit
or 64 bit ker

I understand; but, that doesn't mean a derivative needs to stay that
way. :)

The Radioshark has a totally different tuning interface to the Silabs
chips based FM receiver and no feedback (e.g no signal strength).
Radioshark has AM/FM but no RDS.

I got the Icecast streaming working on my Ubuntu (Intel Atom based)
system based on the HowTo: at the start of this thread. Now I can
listen to the FM receiver on all of my SBs. My RDSQuery is not loading
correctly (can't find librds.so.0; something stupid, I'm sure) so I
can't see changing text
In case someone else looks at this thread, I'll answer my own question:
Q: Do you know if the PCM -> Ogg format conversion requires floating
point?
A: Yes. The IceS program converts the PCM to Ogg-Vorbis. Vorbis uses
a DCT in constructing the compressed stream.

Luckily I only really listen to one radio station ;)

Yes, it will. Yes, all of them. Yes, SoftSqueeze as well. What ?
I SAID ALL OF THEM !
The disadvantage of the waveinput method is the inability to change
station from SB.
Hissy & crackly sounds like antenna problems.

I've just been playing around with it some more, trying out even more
random versions of the dll and various player apps.
Somewhere along the line it started working again. For the first time
since I got it I managed to tune it into Radio 4.
However, the sound is not good, very hissy and crackly

It's possible - the firmware is actually in the DLL and not the
accompanying app. So when you are trying different version you need to
delete the old DLL and reboot before trying the
"RDing PCear FM Radio"
I have tried using it under XP and Vista, no joy on either of them. I
have a feeling one of the apps I ran against it probably tried to update
the firmware and broke it.

andynormancx,
Does the dongle appear in the Control Panel for recording devices ? If
so what is the name being shown ?
I have managed to obtain an ADS InstantFM. It works OK on XP but so
far not on Vista. I think I can mod my SharkPlayer plugin to stream
the FM in Windows.

I'm using the Silicon Labs 'USB FM Radio Reference Design'
(http://www.silabs.com/usbradio) that I bought off the web site. With
tax and shipping (TX, USA) it was $43.01
It has worked perfectly on my XP Pro (SP3) system with the downloaded
Windows software (once I got the antenna position right)
I bought the dealxtreme dongle and haven't had any luck with it. It
worked once with the Windows software that it came with, but I couldn't
tune it.
Since then I can't get it to work at all, despite downloading many
different radio apps that claim to work with that chipset. It is a good
job it wa
Thanks for sharing this with the community. This is exactly what I have
been looking for and had almost resigned myself to having to do the

All interesting. Worth a wiki page?

The FM dongle is a Silabs "Reference Implementation" dongle, you can
find more info at 'Silab's' (https://www.silabs.com/usbradio/) website.
I actually bought it with Digikey and paid outrageous fees with UP
Can you give more details on the FM dongle and where you bought it ?

Hi all,
This is not stricly a plugin, it's more of a HOWTO: I recently
managed to make my FM USB radio stream its audio to squeezecenter, with
included RDS information (station name, radiotext).
The rationale behind is that I had trouble to get a good quality and
reliable stream for my favorite
