Well, I designed the RD[B]S API for the Video4Linux subsystem and provided the
first implementation for it (a driver for the ADS Cadet AM/FM tuner card, now
long since out of production). Yeesh — that was more than ten years ago!
I agree with Andy, the most difficult part of this is likely going to be
finding a decent tuner card, especially if medium wave (AM) support is needed.
Doing that well in the harsh RFI environment of the typical computer is neither
easy nor cheap. One card that I do know works well is:

I suspect that this would be overkill for Drew’s application though.
Cheers!
