Can the software tune the digital audio now broadcast by some FM 
stations?  Also are there any other devices with this chip in them?  Why 
buy one when you already have a device that will work?  This sounds like 
fun.  I'll have to see about getting one of these.  I can see one use 
for this.  If you're travelling away from home, leave one of these set 
up at home.  Then when you're out of town, you can connect to it and 
listen to radio from your hometown and keep up on local news.
