OK, that didn't draw any responses, so let me rephrase the question.

My wife talked me out of getting a Sirius satellite radio for Christmas, but
the geek in me still wants to listen to the radio (airwave broadcast, not
Internet) on my computer.

I know there are radio tuner applications, but I'm not familiar with any of
the hardware that supposedly works with them.  So, for a newbie in this
arena, what's the best way for me to play radio broadcasts through my
computer, change the channel, etc.?  I think that some TV tuner cards also
have FM tuners.  I have no interest whatsoever in watching TV on my PC, so I
wouldn't want to spend money on a top-of-the-line combined solution if
there's a cheaper setup that does what I want.

So, Debian-ites, any thoughts, suggestions, or recommendations?  I'm all
ears (or, at least, I want to be :) ).
