Probably one of the most popular questions I see new users ask about
gnomeradio is along the lines of the following:
"It looks like gnomeradio is working (showing me gui), but for some
reason I am not hearing any audio. What is wrong with my tuner?"
Unfortunately, in the vast majority of cases, there is nothing wrong
with the tuner. The problem is that gnomeradio was originally designed
to be used with older tuner cards that have a dedicated audio output
cable, which you are expected to connect to speakers. Most newer tuner
products deliver their audio via an ALSA device, for which gnomeradio
has no mechanism to route the audio to soundcard.
As a result, users end to run sox or arecord/aplay in a separate
terminal window (which always seemed like a rather ridiculous
workaround).
One of this ridiculous workaround example :
