Kradio installs but does not play

[Benjamin Sher]

Dear friends:

[Using Debian 3.1 Etch (testing) with
0.3.0 snaptshot for Debian (2004-02-28)]

I downloaded and installed the snaptshot debian packaget. It installed fine, 
but I have having problems. Can you help, please? I had used the same version 
a month or so ago on Red Hat and it worked fine, played all my stations in 
full stereo. If it worked on RH, why shouldn't it work on Debian 3.1? Same   
computer, same hardware. The /dev/radio, I assume, is a virtual device. I 
played Kradio fine on RH without any real radio device. Please see data 
below.

Would appreciate your help.

Thank you so much.

Benjamin
