That is clear in the link I originally quoted, since it's identified as a capable of playing OGG, MP3, etc, and those digital data files may contain such data. However, display of data and demodulation of frequencies are not the same sorts of things. Knowing channel numbers and frequencies doesn't seem to have any intrinsic interface relevance to VLC even if such data can be displayed from the digital data formats.
