Kradio on Slackware 10/2.6.7


I have a TV/FM card and I got TV working, and I am trying to get radio from that card to work. I have used Kradio app. but for now, no luck.
OS: Slackware 10
kernel:2.6.7
card: PixelView Play TV PRO w FM & TTX

I also had to download libsndfile from linuxpackages as it was required for this Kradio app. I have installed libsndfile, and I have compiled Kradio from kradio-snapshot-2004-02-26.tar.gz, and it all works fine... I just have no sound.. and searching for stations takes forever.. But even with manually added stations it will not work..
Here is what I get when I start kradio from shell:
bash-2.05b$ kradio
kradio: 2004-07-19T00:18:14 Debug: StationList::readXML: temporary file: /home/dragan/.kde/share/apps/kradio/stations.krp
kradio: 2004-07-19T00:18:14 Debug: V4LRadio::readV4LCaps: audio caps = 2
kradio: 2004-07-19T00:18:14 Warning: V4LRadio::readV4LCaps: Reading V4L2 caps failed
kradio: 2004-07-19T00:18:14 Information: V4L 1 detected
kradio: 2004-07-19T00:18:14 Information: Radio is mutable
kradio: 2004-07-19T00:18:14 Information: Radio has no Volume Control
kradio: 2004-07-19T00:18:14 Information: Radio has no Bass Control
kradio: 2004-07-19T00:18:14 Information: Radio has no Treble Control

I have selected /dev/radio0 and even /dev/v4l/radio0 but with no luck. I have also chmoded that radio0 but still no sound...

Here is related part of modprobe.conf

# i2c
alias char-major-89 i2c-dev
options i2c-core i2c_debug=1
options i2c-algo-bit bit_test=1


# bttv
alias char-major-81 videodev
alias char-major-81-0 bttv
#pre-install bttv modprobe -k tuner; modprobe -k msp3400
options bttv card=70 radio=1 pll=1

I also have this in my rc.local:

rmmod bt878
rmmod bttv
rmmod tuner
modprobe bttv card=70
modprobe tuner type=5


Any ideas on how to make this work? GUI works fine... I just can't hear no music :-(

It is working!!!!!! I do not know what I did... I think it is because I restarted my PC, or maybe in all confusion I have made to myself with so many windows&shells opened... BUT now it is all working !!!

So I will leave previous post as and example how things are working for me, and I hope it will help someone else with same TV/FM card.....

Congrats Drax_NS -- were there any specific or special steps that you took to get this to work? That would be a big help to future visitors to the site -- J.W.

Well I think that chmod of /dev/radio0 did the trick.... (777).
