+ <para>Conventionally V4L2 radio devices are accessed through
+character device special files named <filename>/dev/radio</filename>

+ <para>Devices supporting the radio interface set the
+<constant>V4L2_CAP_RADIO</constant> and
+<constant>V4L2_CAP_TUNER</constant> or
+<constant>V4L2_CAP_MODULATOR</constant> flag in the

+ <para>Radio devices can support <link

+linkend="tuner">tuner or modulator</link> ioctls.</para>
+
+ <para>They do not support the video input or output, audio input

+ <title>Programming</title>
+
+ <para>Radio devices may have a couple audio controls (as discussed
+in <xref linkend="control" />) such as a volume control, possibly custom
+controls. Further all radio devices have one tuner or modulator (these are
+discussed in <xref linkend="tuner" />) with index number zero to select
+the radio frequency and to determine if a monaural or FM stereo
+program is received/emitted. Drivers switch automatically between AM and FM
+depending on the selected frequency. The &VIDIOC-G-TUNER; or
+&VIDIOC-G-MODULATOR; ioctl
+reports the supported frequency range.</para>
