   Description     : DAB/DAB+ software for RTL-SDR dongles and the Psion
Wavefinder
  These are tools for reception, recording and playback of DAB and DAB+
digital
radio broadcasts. It currently supports the Psion Wavefinder USB DAB
tuner and
any SDR tuner supported by the RTL-SDR project.
It is heavily based on David Crawley's "OpenDAB" software for the Psion
Wavefinder
and David May's "rtl-dab" SDR DAB demodulator, and wouldn't have been
possible
without their work (and other contributors to those projects).
The included Psion Wavefinder kernel driver is an extended version of
David
Crawley's original driver, with some functionality David implemented in
his
userland application moved inside the kernel driver in order to provide
a
higher-level API and simplify the application code.

A working package is available at http://sid.ethz.ch/debian/dabtools/

This is needed for dablin to work as expected, unfortunately I took the
reverse order
with packaging, since the dablin pkg was RFPd already.
