Package: gnomeradio
Version: 1.8
Severity: important
Probably one of the most popular questions I see new users ask about
gnomeradio is along the lines of the following:
"It looks like gnomeradio is working (showing me gui), but for some reason
I am not hearing any audio. What is wrong with my tuner?"
Unfortunately, in the vast majority of cases, there is nothing wrong with
the tuner. The problem is that gnomeradio was originally designed to be used
with older tuner cards that have a dedicated audio output cable, which you are
expected to connect to speakers. Most newer tuner products deliver their audio
via an ALSA device, for which gnomeradio has no mechanism to route the audio to
soundcard.
As a result, users end to run sox or arecord/aplay in a separate terminal
window (which always seemed like a rather ridiculous workaround).
Solution: Added support for looping back audio through alsa devices. This
feature automatically get an alsa device associated with a radio device. It
will start an audio streaming between the radio device and the audio output
device.
