Bug Description

After upgrading to Karmic Koala I am not able to tune my bttv v4l radio anymore. I have been using gnomeradio for this.

In addition there were following options required for the bttv driver:
$ cat /etc/modprobe.d/local-bttv.conf
options bttv card=70 radio=1

These options used to work for last 3-4 years or so...

At this moment I get the radio/video stuff created in /dev directory, but the radio application fail to show signal power and there is only a white noise coming from the speakers as if the radio was not tuned properly. Changing frequency does not seem to have any effect. So looks like only enabling/disabling radio works.

I am not using the video card to watch anything. But at first glance it with xawtv it looks like working.

False alarm regarding BTTV driver! The problem is with gnomeradio... I have tried Rhythmbox with the FM radio plugin and it happened to work.

Is it possible to redirect this bug to gnomeradio (if it is still maintained)? Not sure what changed between jaunty and karmic - but there seems to be a problem with it.

Regards,
Bartek
