You can take a look at my v4l-dvb-rds tree. Both the API and the documentation of it in the v4l2-spec is in there. I started work on updating the few RDS decoders that we have, but that is not yet in that tree. > > As a result of rereading this RFC I also started to wonder about > > whether the si4713 supports the MMBS functionality.

Can you point some link? http://www.rds.org.uk/rdsfrdsrbds.html But I've just read here: http://www.rds.org.uk/rds98/pdf/rdsForum_standards_090414_8.pdf that MMBS is discontinued. I'll need to investigate this further, but if this is indeed true then this can be removed completely from our RDS decoder and encoder APIs.
