If I have understood the demo correctly, I should be able to seach stations and only 'mark' those I really want in my list, then I can select from the list? If so, that's great. And it looks super.
The only thing missing (as far as I can see) would then be fine-tuning. Around here I always have to adjust the final frequency do to interference and whatnot. So a +/- stepped in a few hertz would be good.

Is battery life really an issue? I don't think it's so bad even without bypassing.
AFAIK the headset route in the Maemo OS is not so much filtered anyway, because headphones can take the low frequencies and headphones sound better than the speakers which require filtering.

Maybe you're thinking of capturing in terms of encoding and writing to file. This does not happen. Sound gets directly piped from Line in to audio out by the means of Pulseaudio. That's all. It should be even less battery consuming than playing MP3 because no decoding has to take place.

now im confused to quote u from an earlier discussion 'N900 and FMradio' dated 11/11/2009

To sum it up: you can save battery in the next version if using headphones for listening."

Just wanted to confirm that the tuning via swipe is much more manageable for me with the latest version. Thanks!

Anyway, headphones output is better for battery life, no matter if bypassing pulseaudio alltogether or just bypassing the HP filtering in pulseaudio.
And eventually you want to be able to record radio streams in a future version. Recording wouldn't work with bypassing.

hey,
any chance we can have a row of buttons on the bottom, marked 1-6
when i press and hold, the button records the current frequency and gives a beep.
when i tap the buttons, make the frequency fly back to the prerecorded frequency.
pretty please, its a very functional usable interface
there is much to learn from the interface inside a vehicle.
Similar functionality has existed for ages and we should make it easy for everyone to understand it
let people swipe the frequency but give them regular controls for small/large steps.
let them use it like their regular radio interface is.

The button on the bottom brings up a list with your presets. Isn't that about the same? Or is it one click too much? Two clicks vs one.
And you can name the stations 1 - 6 so that they will appear by this in the list (aka vertical button row).
