Re: vid capture/tv tuner/fm tuner question

[Trevor Astrope <astrope e-corp net>]

Hello Hans,

I think rtune is very on topic, as it is the only command line tool for
accessing radio tunor cards under linux. This is why I uploaded it to the
blinux archive.

Is screen reading software the only topic allowed on blinux? I think any
software that enables access to the blind should be allowed for
discussion.

I've been on this list since its inception and I like to think I know what
is on topic and can moderate myself. One should lighten up a bit, yes?
