The V4L and DVB API's are there for a long time. however, up to now, no efforts were done to merge them to kernel DocBook. This patch adds the current versions of the specs as an unique compendium. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@redhat.com>

<para>Radio devices may have a couple audio controls (as discussed
|
|
in <xref linkend="control" />) such as a volume control, possibly custom
|
|
controls. Further all radio devices have one tuner or modulator (these are
|
|
discussed in <xref linkend="tuner" />) with index number zero to select
|
|
the radio frequency and to determine if a monaural or FM stereo
|
|
program is received/emitted. Drivers switch automatically between AM and FM
|
|
depending on the selected frequency. The &VIDIOC-G-TUNER; or
|
|
&VIDIOC-G-MODULATOR; ioctl
|
|
reports the supported frequency range.</para>
