You can repeat the contrary as much as you want, we do not believe that your 
SDR code fits in FFmpeg. Why do you not understand this?

Like no, seriously. If you really want to generic support for AM and FM RX in 
FFmpeg, then you should use implement frontends for the already *existing* HAL 
(that would be V4L radio and ALSA on Linux), or perhaps, write a new user-
space HAL library that would accomodate both hardware radio RX devices and 
SDR.

In fact, the SDR code has quite a number of impediments that all but guarantee 
that it will not "catch on" in FFmpeg:
- it requires niche hardware,
- it only works on some limited set of OSes (if not only Linux),
- it will be subject to all the FFmpeg processes and drama,
- it will be obscured by FFmpeg's existing own fame, remaining an obscure 
feature set that hardly anybody outside FFmpeg-devel knows about.

You are doing your own work a disservice by pushing it in FFmpeg, IMO.
