Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Listen to HD radio with a $30 RTL SDR dongle
You're all correct, except there are not that many $30 SDRs out there. Also, most SDRs have clearly superior capabilities to the RTL-SDR, though those capabilities often are not required.
BTW, for simple AM/FM demodulation I cannot recommend enough the handy https://github.com/charlie-foxtrot/RTLSDR-Airband. For example most of LiveATC.net feeds run on it.

Automatic recording app for Linux?
rtlsdr_airband, but again requires knowing the frequencies of interest ahead of time.

I'm back into it 2 years later
You may want to give RTLSDR-Airband a look. Its designed for analog AM/NFM voice traffic and can be configured to operate on any frequency your rtlsdr dongle can handle. It can also be configured to output to an mp3 file, in addition to other things like IceCast.

Raspberry Pi RTL_Airband
There’s an example service config file in the repo: https://github.com/charlie-foxtrot/RTLSDR-Airband/blob/main/init.d/rtl_airband.service

Streaming audio from local UDP source
I have been streaming the output from RTLSDR-Airband (https://github.com/charlie-foxtrot/RTLSDR-Airband) with icecast2 for several (5?) Years now, and I have some time and inclination to look at reducing latency (currently best is 10s, but often much more.)

Airband receiver
https://github.com/szpajder/RTLSDR-Airband Might be what you are looking for, although I don't know the performance requirements. It has a scan mode detailed here: https://github.com/szpajder/RTLSDR-Airband/wiki/Configuring-channels-for-scan-mode

Listen to HD radio with a $30 RTL SDR dongle
That decision was made by the original author (Andrew Wesie), but I think it makes sense because nrsc5 only needs a tiny fraction of the functionality that GNU Radio provides. Implementing the functionality directly in nrsc5 avoids the need for a large and complex dependency.
One downside is that we don't get the broad hardware support that GNU Radio provides, but maybe we'll someday take another crack at integrating SoapySDR. (See https://github.com/theori-io/nrsc5/pull/131 for an earlier experiment with that.)

Why does the spectrum analyzer have a square wave by 102.25 MHz, I see the often in FM broadcasting.
That's HD radio, the sidebands are digital audio. It can be decoded with nrsc5 and an rtl-sdr.
-
What is the divergence point of streaming AAC overtaking OTA FM audio quality ?
An article called "Decoding and Listening to HD Radio (NRSC-5) with an RTL-SDR" links to a security researcher's write-up called "Receiving NRSC-5" about how they wrote the software to do it. That links to the actual nrsc5 software on GitHub.

Looking for a good AM/FM Radio sollution
There is loads of software that will work such as SDR++, GQRX, CubicSDR, and SDRangel just to name a few. For HD radio reception, there is nrsc5. Nrsc5 only works with an rtl-sdr, so you will need one if you want to receive HD radio.
-
Can I be tuned in to multiple FM stations at once?
In theory could https://github.com/theori-io/nrsc5 be listening to all hd radio at once?
-
Thousands of Mazdas in the Seattle area are stuck on a single FM radio station
HD Radio is closed and proprietary, but there is at least one FOSS receiver out there: https://github.com/theori-io/nrsc5

What are these bands to the left/right of the two main CBC signals? Not RDS, but appears to be data of some sort? The FM station at 90.7 and 91.5 are both CBC (French & English broadcasts).
NRSC5 is a decoder that I use. If you are on windows there are a couple of extra steps you have to take compile it, but it works well! They have a newer one with a GUI that can also display album art.
