gtuner is a GTK+/GNOME radio controller.

Here are some key features of "gtuner":
Nice X windows gui using gtk
Gui configurable via a scripting language which enables any combination of windows and widgets to be created.
The program aims to be fully gui configurable, which means no editing of config files. Just point and click. (Not complete)
Each device is actually a plugin that can be run time loaded and unloaded. You can therefore switch between cards without restarting.
A control plugin interface with which you can write plugins to control gtuner.
An almost unlimited number of channel presets are supported. (only first 999 can be used in the alarm though :-)
A 7 day configurable alarm that can turn on any station you like on any day at any time.
A sleep timer which turns off the radio after a specfied time.
Support for kernel video for linux drivers via plugin.
Full stereo support (if the driver can do it)
Can be compiled with or without GNOME support.
With gnome support is an optional mode that lets gtuner use the panel.
The panel applet has various modes: Off, None, Text, Skined.
The skined applet style is themeable and has support for XShape extensions.

Requirements:
A radio card that is supported by the linux video4linux drivers.
GTK version 1.2 or greater.
GNOME desktop is not required, but its nicer withit.
