I imagine that there isn't really any need to use the S2 API to tune older
modulation types, because you just use the existing API if you want the
old style tuning.

However I would agree that if the new API supports both old and new style
tuning, then that is nicer for anyone writing a new app, as they only have
to code for the S2API, and get support for all tuning styles. Unless I too
am not understanding :)
