Also, you can instantiate a controlport or xmlrpc server in your

How you generate those tuning commands is up to you... I suppose
someone who knows more about GUI programming than I do could come up
with a touchscreen app that simulates a physical knob you can turn and
emits various re-tuning events.

It's incredibly crude and I hope to improve it before FOSDEM, but here's an Android app that I'm using to adjust the settings of an E310.
