[Em28xx] Terratec Cinergy Hybrid T USB XS FM radio problem

[rvf16]

FM Radio doesn't work at all.
I have tried out several applications to start the fm radio. None of them
works.
Below lay the output errors :
  gqradio-3f5638e1383d
   #gqradio
    Error talking (ioctl) to /dev/radio, Wrong address
    Radio device control test failed
    Error, radio support missing, or failed to init radio device!
    gqradio: could not connect to socket
    gqradio: No such file or directory
    unable to connect to lirc daemon
  xawtv-3.95-4.fc6
   #radio -d -f 95.0
    tuned 95,00 MHz
    VIDIOCGAUDIO: Wrong address
  vlc-40d715d67a1b
   #vlc radio:// :radio-frequency=100600 :radio-dev=/dev/radio0
:radio-adev=hw:1,0 :
    main input error: no suitable access module for `radio://'
  
I have finally managed to utilize the radio tuner under vlc.
The command to listen to the radio via vlc in a terminal is :
v4l2:// :v4l2-dev=/dev/radio0 :v4l2-adev=/dev/dsp1 :v4l2-standard=0 
:v4l2-tuner-frequency=95500000
/dev/radio0 is the radio device
/dev/dsp1 is the audio device
and v4l2-tuner-frequency is the radio station frequency in Hz so e.g the 
95.5MHz station is 95500000 Hz
Change that frequency to whatever you like to get other stations.

Another way ofcourse is to run vlc, open Media -> CaptureDevice, choose 
Video 4 Linux 2 and set the above parameters there. You must set the 
video device to /dev/radio0 which sounds a bit anorthodox but that's how 
it worked for me.
I prefer the command line as that way i can create a shell scripts which 
can change the frequency with one click.

Anyway thank you for your replies.
Problem solved.
Regards.
