Hi Matti,

This can be improved a bit:

I think that for now we should only mention BLOCK_IO here since we do not know
yet what controls would be used if the receiver would understand that. There are
no devices yet that support that mode. Perhaps we should mention instead that if
someone has hardware that can decode rds automagically that they should contact
the mailing list.

Can you also add a link to the "Reading RDS data" section when describing the
BLOCK_IO capability?

The RDS interface section should be extended with a "Writing RDS data" section,
and a link should be added to that new section when describing the BLOCK_IO
capability here.

Just read carefully through the "RDS interface" section and make sure it is
no longer exclusively referring to the receiver API.

You should alse add a link to the "FM Transmitter Control Reference" section
when describing the CONTROLS capability.
