I suspect a Soundblaster card with an antenna on it. And the appropriate
circuitry to interface the antenna with the card.

Towards that goal, I'm moving towards hooking up the Line-Out of an 
ordinary radio (receiver-only) with the Line-In of the Soundblaster. 
That, at the least, will allow me to work with getting some of the pspectra 
code working with ALSA. I'm targeting VrAudioSource for starters.

Does this sound like a reasonable plan to start with? Please let me know
your thoughts ASAP, as I've now got all the hardware and software ready to go, 
and was planning on starting on it tomorrow.
