When I toyed with xmradio, I found that it worked fine up until I decided to run fxtv. After that, if I ran xmradio again (after exiting from fxtv, of course), I had the same problem you have. I seme to remember that what happens is that the driver returns an error for the ioctl to change frequency, indicating the frequency is out of range. And for those frequencies where it didn't return an error, it was actually tuning to the wrong frequency (I don't remember how far off it was, I think roughly 5.6 MHz). I never got a chance to dig into things and figure out what state the driver and card were in to cause this to happen.
