[gst-devel] Request of including gstradiotuner plugin to gst-plugins-*

[Alexey Chernov]

Thank you for these additions, Edward.

I checked if the same functionality could be added to v4l2src when just began 
development and found v4l2src more complex and functionally full than plugin 
needed for FM tuner. But I'll check this once again before opening a ticket.

Also, thanks for suggestion to make the patch against latest git version, 
things became clearer for me.
