From memory, the European FM stereo broadcast format is approx 22KHz of audio consisting of the L+R signals, a 38KHz pilot tone and the L-R information added as sidebands to a 96KHz suppressed carrier signal. The whole is contained in a 200KHz 'channel'. How that would be decoded in software I've no idea but I'm sure it is possible.
