The "miroSOUND pcm20 radio" has an interface with no | technical relation to RDS: e.g. driver says 'give me RadioText' and | the card retruns a character string. | | Do you know a good API for that!?? uhmm; that's just the decoded "Type 2" group, something that's easily done in user space, if you had access to the whole RDS stream. Maybe we can distinguish between these types by different capabilities? Something like "V4L2_CAP_RDS_CAPTURE" and "V4L2_CAP_RADIOTEXT_CAPTURE"? Just a thought...
