DMCRadio - FAQ

Q: DMCRadio says "Can't open /dev/mixer: No such device", but my souncard is working with other programs!
A: DMCRadio uses linux/souncard.h, an OSS-header. If you're using ALSA, you have to use the OSS-emulation-modules (snd_mixer_oss for general use and snd_pcm_oss if you want to record something).

Q: Why don't you add recording in mp3 (ogg, etc...)?
A: I think it's quite useless because when you record from radio, you've always got some moderator-guy or some advertising before/in between/after the stuff you wanted to record.
So you would have to decompress the recording and cut the unwanted things out and because mp3/ogg/... are lossy, that wouldn't only be a waste of time but also of quality.

Q: Hey! This programm looks like 'radio'!
A: Well, ...

Q: The code sux!
A: I know, but ... who cares? It works! Besides, it's not that bad, is it?

Q: Your english sux!
A: I'm German... I try my best and yeah, I'm certain some formulations may seem strange to a native speaker. Please bear with me...
