Actually, playing around with it some more (the version in the stable
repository), it appears to be picking something up.  "radio -s" produces
the following:

$ radio -s
q> baseline at 1.00
Station  0:  88.10 MHz - 4.00
Station  1:  88.90 MHz - 3.00
Station  2:  89.70 MHz - 2.00
Station  3:  91.50 MHz - 2.00
Station  4:  92.35 MHz - 3.00
Station  5:  93.10 MHz - 3.00
Station  6:  95.10 MHz - 3.00
Station  7:  95.90 MHz - 2.00
Station  8:  97.80 MHz - 4.00
Station  9:  99.10 MHz - 2.00
Station 10: 100.45 MHz - 2.00
Station 11: 101.90 MHz - 2.00
Station 12: 102.70 MHz - 2.00
Station 13: 104.25 MHz - 4.00
Station 14: 105.75 MHz - 3.00
Station 15: 106.50 MHz - 5.00
tuned 88.10 MHz

I assume that the last number is a measure of signal strength?

Yes, more or less.

The problem is that no sound is produced.  FYI, gnomeradio gives a
'Could not open "/dev/mixer"!' error.  There seem to be some bugs
reported regarding this problem.

Right, have you also tried with the latest version of radio ? The
3.103 version has digital audio loopbacking support, so it will
read audio from the usb stick (which show up as a usb soundcard)
and then send it to your default alsa device, also see radio -help
output.

About setting the frequency not working, I've just tried with
my own si470x device, and this works fine:
radio -f 97.6

As for the reported hardware / software version, my usb-stick has:

radio-si470x 4-2:1.2: software version 1, hardware version 7

Where as your has:

radio-si470x 2-3:1.2: software version 0, hardware version 7
radio-si470x 2-3:1.2: This driver is known to work with software version 7,
radio-si470x 2-3:1.2: but the device has software version 0.

Since my device works fine, in the latest driver the software version check
has been lowered to version 1. And if we can get yours to work too, we can
lower it even further.

Which kernel version are you using ?

Regards,

Hans
