Bug Description

gnomeradio v1.8 use default v4l1 driver instead of v4l2 driver with Avermedia TX hybrid
Volar HX (usb dongle). Also default device is /dev/radio instead of /dev/radio0 (which is in most cases the correct chois)

Gnomeradio accepts v4l2, but one has to use a gconf editor to change the driver (there is no option in the application interface).

For those users who don't know this is a serious problem.

I think it'd be better to simply make the autodetection try v4l2 first. Also, is it necessary to change "/dev/radio" to "/dev/radio0".

This bug is not an issue of the V4L1 API dropped in recent Linux kernels, fortunately gnomeradio supports V4L2.
Gnomeradio just needs best defaults for v4l2 and /dev/radio0.
Unfortunately here is no option in the GUI and have used gconf-editor.

Best solution is your suggestion.

Attila
