Could you please give more details here? How do you scan local radios
and create config file? May i miss some information and this driver
can create config file by itself.
Could you please try other ways to catch sound using
Documentation/video4linux/si470x.txt file ?
There are also few possible ways described in this file:

Audio Listing
=============
USB Audio is provided by the ALSA snd_usb_audio module. It is recommended to
also select SND_USB_AUDIO, as this is required to get sound from the radio. For
listing you have to redirect the sound, for example using one of the following
commands. Please adjust the audio devices to your needs (/dev/dsp* and hw:x,x).
If you just want to test audio (very poor quality):
cat /dev/dsp1 > /dev/dsp
If you use OSS try:
sox -2 --endian little -r 96000 -t oss /dev/dsp1 -t oss /dev/dsp
If you use arts try:
arecord -D hw:1,0 -r96000 -c2 -f S16_LE | artsdsp aplay -B -
If you use mplayer try:
mplayer -radio adevice=hw=1.0:arate=96000 \
-rawaudio rate=96000 \
radio://<frequency>/capture
