Description:
 KRadio is a comfortable  KDE4 application for
internet radio and AM/FM radio cards supported by
V4L/V4L2. It has a lot of valuable features such
as RDS decoding, pre-recording, timeshift
playback, recording (wav, mp3, ogg), PVR support,
versatile alarms, LIRC support, and much more (see
below).

The [b]fourth release candidate[/b] of KRadio
4.0.0 is ready! It became necessary due to some
changes in LIRC plugin.

ChangeLog:
