The complication is that fm radio is highly vendor-specific and it
ultimately boils down
to a maintenance problem. In addition, the android libraries *might*
require certain parts of android
running that are not present in our container.

With that, if we can solely rely on ioctl's, it is easier to just fold
those into one app and keep the maintenance burden to a minimum.
