Fine. I'll try to make radio work on this card as it seems it can be done.
Regarding the FMD1216ME and MEX, I'll try to contact NXP and see if I can have datasheets and / or support from them in order to support radio on these tuners under Linux. We have here at the office the FM1216ME datasheets from NXP but not the other ones.
But, how was implemented tv support of these tuners in v4l-dvb ? wasn't it already using datasheets ? Who did it ? Maybe we could contact the ont who initialy worked on these tuners and have a nice chat with him/her, to see how much work it would be, a.s.o. ?
