I don't know if we want to open that can of worms here.... :-)

This code is experimental.  It is a hack.  It is not meant to be
used in any other form than as help for some other poor smuck that
can't find the non-existent documentation for the bt848 ioctls.

If you want to talk more about GPL vs. BSD licenses, drop me mail
outside of this list.

Hmmm... It does tune to the station that I spec and plays audio.
It works fine.  Perhaps the cards I have out there are coming up
in a state that more initialization is not needed.  This is even
from a cold boot as it runs from /etc/rc.local. I can see perhaps
setting the audio so it isn't muted and it is set for internal to
perhaps guarantee it coming up as sparsely detailed in the suggested
radio.c.
