Hm... in this case the application also doesn't know what the current
state is. - Further, I could implement this behavior with one bit:
switchable and non-switchable... [:
Or should I show 'mono' if the driver is set to stereo and
'stereo' if the driver is set to mono?
Maybe I must set 'stereo' when the station broadcasts in stereo - but
I cant check this in mono mode.

Okay, maybe v4l fits better for TV, but I'm writing a radio driver (in
Germany)... (:
Thanks,
