Hi George,
The big problem is that almost none of the hardware tuners out there
which support FM have support for RDS. You generally need an extra
chip, and very few devices have it (IIRC, none of the ones that are
supported in Linux have been available in retail for a number of
years).
Don't get me wrong - I would like to see RDS supported as well - but I
couldn't find a single tuner product shipping in retail that supports
it.
In short, it's a hardware limitation, not a problem with the
linux-media driver stack.
Devin
