Hans, it are indeed only the v4l1 apps like radio, qtradio, gnomeradio
and fm from fmtools. Avl is right, mplayer does still work and also
kradio.

So the trouble happens in the v4l1 compat layer.

Symptoms are, that you just have loud static noise and tuning has not
any effect. Also no signal and/or stereo detection.

"fm" gives now "ioctl VIDIOCGTUNER: Invalid argument".

qtradio

Tested on old style simple tuners, some tda9887 stuff and
tda8275a/tda8290/saa7131e, on both x86 and x86_64, with some 2.6.29 and
some 2.6.30.

Cheers,
Hermann
