[PATCH] radio-si470x Documentation: add note about mplayer

[Alexey Klimov]

Hello, all

This small patch adds information about si470x radio listening.
Probably, it's useful to add such notes in doc file, right ?
Feel free to change words in the right way due to my possible bad
english.

 If you use arts try:

+You can also try mplayer:
+mplayer radio://95.23/capture -radio adevice=hw=1.0:arate=96000 -rawaudio rate=96000
+Of course, you should place right "adevice=hw=x.x" option, and you can read
+man mplayer to know more about others parameters. Mplayer handles both v4l2-radio
+control and sound redirecting, that's why this method is interesting.
