Description:
 KRadio is a comfortable radio Application for KDE
>= 4.2.

After a long time of silence, this is an initial
port to KDE4. It is not intended for productive
use, however for developers who want to contribute
fixes/patches and brave users who want to report
excessive errors ;-). Please test and report
problems and patches! 

Current Features:

* now with PVR (/dev/video24) support by general
purpose streaming plugin
* Pre-Recording - no longer worry about starting
recording too late: The last seconds before the
decision are captured, too
* Improved Timeshift playing - just press pause
when you get interrupted
* Active Playback: For cards that don't use the
line-in loop the sound can be captured from a
special device and played back on the sound card
* ALSA Plugin
* support for V4L and V4L2 based radio card
drivers
* MP3 and Ogg/Vorbis recording (libmp3lame and
libogg/libvorbis required)
* database with station preset files, station
search
* lirc support
* alarms (weekday specific if you wish), stations
and volume may be assigned, types: start/stop
play, start/stop recording
* sleep countdown functions
* docking menu, includes menu entries for
preferred stations
* quickbar, toolbar with buttons for preferred
stations
* icons for stations in quickbar, display, etc.
* error logging window instead of nerving
messageboxes:)
* dynamic plugin library architecture, kradio is
ready for new radio types (e.g. internet radio),
your own radio display, etc.
